| Abstract: An X-ray contrast sensitivity gauge is described herein. The contrast
sensitivity gauge comprises a plurality of steps of varying thicknesses.
Each step in the gauge includes a plurality of recesses of differing
depths, wherein the depths are a function of the thickness of their
respective step. An X-ray image of the gauge is analyzed to determine a
contrast-to-noise ratio of a detector employed to generate the image. |
