Abstract
In the comparison the lowest correlation with the standard technique film (X-ray 1) was seen in the purely dose-reduced X-ray. In the range of 1.6-3.4Â Lp/mm, both SNR curves have an identical course. Despite a 52% dose reduction in the re-exposed image, both densitometry curves of the conventional and re-exposed X-ray show an almost identical distribution of the transmittance levels. In conclusion film sensitisation provides a technically simple and inexpensive procedure, which is easily integrated into previous film development processes and considerably reduces the patient radiation exposure as well as clearly improving the image quality.
