FR Recognition Number 12-138
Standard
ISO  5799 Second edition 1991-08-01
Photography -- Direct-exposing medical and dental radiographic film/process systems -- Determination of ISO speed and ISO average gradient
Scope/Abstract
This International Standard specifies methods for determining the ISO Speed and ISO average gradient of the film/process combinations used in medical and dental radiography other than mammography. Sensitometric procedures are descry bed for films exposed directly to X-rays. The purpose of this International Standard is to provide a method for the measurement of ISO Speed and ISO average gradient so that the characteristics of the fiIm/process System tan be obtained reproducibly and tan also be compared with those of other Systems.
Extent of Recognition
