Calibration:
Determination of the sensitometric curve
The film calibration procedure consists in acquiring a set of single measurements of net
optical density NOD with the corresponding absorbed dose and obtaining a function
which relates NOD for a given dose, called the sensitometric curve. The NOD is obtained
by subtracting the average OD of a non-irradiated film to an irradiated film using
regions of interest ROIs of constant sizes and uniform field doses
