title: Noise reduction by radiographic magnification.
abstract: Effective noise in the rare-earth system can be substantially reduced by use of radiographic magnification technique. The basic imaging properties of the rare-earth system (Alpha 8-XM) and the medium-speed system (Par-RP) were evaluated by the Wiener spectra, modulation transfer functions, and H&D curves. The visibility of radiographic details was determined with simple test objects. Results indicate that, as the magnification increases, the effective noise in the rare-earth system is reduced, and that the visibility of small structures can be improved.
