IMAGE CHARACTERISTICSπIMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBERπΉDensity: It is also called photographic density. It is the term used for describing the degree of film blackening and is measured by densitometer. In diagnostic radiology, the range of optical density is 0.3β2.πΉRadiolucent areas: The white areas on the radiographic filmπΉRadiopaque areas: The black areas on the radiographic filmπΉFactors affecting the density of film: They consist of factors in relation with X-ray machine (kVp, milliamperage, intensityΒ of X-ray beam, exposure time, source to film distance, filtration, grid), factors in relation with image receptor (X-ray film type,…
