The fundamentals of ISO-14096 was observed. The evaluation of X-Ray films’ digitizer «Microtek MII 900 Plus» was produced. The optical density range and spatial resolution were estimated. The reference radiograph and “X-Vizor” software was used in evaluation. The achieved digitizer class is DS according to ISO-14096.
Materials and methods
The reference radiograph ¹ Å176, digitizer «Microtek MII 900 Plus» and “X-Vizor” software were used.
Results
The comprehensive evaluation of «Microtek MII 900 Plus» was performed.
Ñonclusions
Digitizer «Microtek MII 900 Plus» corresponds to DS class according to ISO-14096. Newertheless, it is recommended for use with films of densities less than 3.5 D.
