Controlling Radiographic Quality. We have used x ray quality with D4 size film. The emulsion consists of gelatin containing microscopic, radiation sensitive silver halide crystals, such as silver bromide and silver chloride. Because radiographic film is sensitive to light, fewer x-rays are needed to expose the film. IQIs, which are also referred to as penetrameters, provide a means of visually informing the film interpreter of the contrast sensitivity and definition of the radiograph. One of the methods of controlling the quality of a radiograph is through the use of image quality indicators (IQIs). Two types of intensifying screens are available: calcium tungstate and rare earth. Intensifying screen selection traits include its speed and, more importantly, spectral qualities. Film speed is the measure of a photographic film's sensitivity to light, determined by sensitometry and measured on various numerical scales, the most recent being the ISO system. We have shown the client, required IQI as per sec V. But client wants 2% sensitivity as per specification. Radiographic Sensitivity (Image Quality): Radiographic sensitivity is a function of two factors: the ability to see a density variation in the film, which is ‘radiographic contrast’ and the ability to detect the image outline which is ‘radiographic definition’. Conventional x-ray film has an x-ray exposure sensitivity in the range of 50 mR to 150 mR if exposed directly by the x-radiation.. This allows the exposure technique to be reduced, which reduces patient exposure to x-radiation. Since film is more sensitive to light than to x-ray exposure, film can be exposed with much less radiation if an intensifying screen is used. Prasad: 1/9/17 10:13 PM: Dear sir, I have 1" s.s. pipe having thkness of 4.1mm. It is responsible to record the physical impression of an object by which we can get detail about the object. Regarding 2% sensitivity in radiography film. X-ray film is a photographic receptor consisting of photographically active or radiation sensitive emulsion coated on a thin sheet like material. Showing 1-26 of 26 messages. Film Processing. A closely related ISO system is used to describe the relationship between exposure and output image lightness in digital cameras.. Radiographic contrast is the difference in darkness of two areas of a radiograph. Exceeds Film Sensitivity Considerably in Aerospace Applications Klaus BAVENDIEK, Uwe HEIKE, YXLON International, Hamburg, Germany William D. MEADE, BOEING Commercial Airplane Group, Seattle, USA Uwe ZSCHERPEL, Uwe EWERT, BAM, Berlin, Germany Abstract More and more companies and institutes report about radiographic film re-placement techniques and publish different ways to prove the … As mentioned previously, radiographic film consists of a transparent, blue-tinted base coated on both sides with an emulsion.
