Abstract

A dosimetric film Kodak X OMATV type was investigated to obtain a calibration curve, using a fast densitometric method. Film was irradiated by a 6 MeV X-ray beam, at different doses and different radiation fields. The method is applicable for any type of medical films. Films are the most frequently used for patient treatment quality assurance, in different medical domains. Present work shows the experimental results obtained with the film densitometer from MULTIDATA System – USA, outfitted with RTD4 software, 5.2 version, for two pulmonary radiographies to evidence the areas where suspiciuous formation are located and to help the radiologist to elaborate a corect planing treatment. The method can be used for tracing and and locating other tumor in the human body as well.
