title: Bootstrap sensitometry for nuclear medicine.
abstract: A full radioscintigraphic monitor/film system sensitometric curve has been obtained utilizing a bootstrap technique in which individual characteristic curve segments, obtained from stepwedge-graded exposures, are tied together at the point of overlap. Curve segments were first smoothed by employing the linearized form of the logistic distribution function. This function allows calculation of gradient-exposure and gradient-density relations for the full characteristic curve.
