title: Computerized prediction of optical density for diagnostic radiology.
abstract: A computer program was formulated and verified experimentally to predict the optical density on an image receptor for any given set of radiographic variables including tube kilovoltage, milliamperage, and wave form; x-ray beam filtration; nature of filters and absorbers, and type of x-ray film.
