Abstract

This session on Film-Screen Sens item etry will be concerned primarily with the image receptor most used in medical radiography: the screen-film-process combination. We shall not, however, be dealing with its optical image-forming properties--only the response of the system to changes in exposure. One may liken sensitometry to the d-c response of an amplifier; the subject of the next session--Film-Screen Optics--may be likened to that of the a-c response.
