An interlaboratory measurement of screen-film speed and average gradient according to ISO 9236-1

Med Phys. 2000 Feb;27(2):307-11. doi: 10.1118/1.598832.

Abstract

The speed and average gradient of a conventional screen-film system was measured at four European laboratories. This is the first interlaboratory comparison in which the measurement conditions described in ISO 9236-1 were applied. The four laboratories used calibrated measurement equipment. The values obtained by the four laboratories were within a range of 14% for the speed and within a range of 8% for the average gradient. These variations are consistent with the expected measurement uncertainty.
