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
