title: Image quality of dry-processed film.
abstract: Recently, a lot of dry film processors and its radiographic films have been favorably used in hospitals. We have evaluated the diagnostic capability and measured the image quality of these dry processed films, comparing it with those of conventional wet processed films. It is found that (1) dry processed film has almost the same diagnostic capability to that of wet processed film, and (2) dry film had strong absorption at 804 nm which brought a reddish color tone to dry film and gave radiologists problems in diagnosis. These situations have been improved through this study to some extent.
