Measurement of spatial noise power spectra from television based radiographic and fluoroscopic systems is essential to the understanding of their operation and optimization. However, conventional methods require acquisition and processing of large numbers of complete images, thus confining such measurements to special applications where accessible frame buffers already exist or elaborately equipped laboratories. We have developed a method which only requires storage of single TV lines or point scans. A digital oscilloscope captures these point scans and a laboratory microcomputer facilitates manipulation of the data to separate out different components of the noise power spectra. The x-ray dependent component of the noise power spectrum so produced is not the ordinary Wiener spectrum. However, it is shown that reconstruction of the full Wiener spectrum from this is possible subject only to the requirement that the x-ray noise spectrum at the output of the imaging system is circularly symmetric.
