Abstract

This work refers to the tumoral formations within breast and pelvis area, based on mammography and lumbar area radiography. The paper also presents the experimental results obtained by using the film densitometer, delivered by MULTIDATA Systems – USA for bleackening densities determination appeared on radiographic films, for some tissues showing tumoral formations. As a result of scanning with the film densitometer, 2D and 3D bleackening densities distributions are represented as bleackening isodensities distributions which are equivalent to the isodose distributions recorded on radiographic films.

Keywords

Film densitometer, 2D, 3D and isodose distributions, Mammary and bone tumors.
