Reference procedure
Further information
Flaws in technical installations or devices can be detected by differences in optical density of X-ray films/
radiographs.
It is therefore important that the optical density is defined and traceable to standards.
The optical density is measured by transmission of light through the film.
The optical density is defined by:
D lg
L0
LF
