Abstract
In recent years the contrast ratio (CR) has played an important role in the quantitation of imaging performance of X-ray image intensifiers. In practice, one uses either a lead disc or strip for measurement of contrast ratios. A theoretical relationship relating contrast ratios measured by both disc and strip techniques is discussed and experimental results are presented. The theoretical analysis uses the point spread function model to describe veiling glare for an image intensifier. It has been shown that one can predict strip contrast ratios after a determination of the veiling glare point spread function from a measurement of disc contrast ratios.
