Abstract
In a scanning equalization radiography system, a control function similar to the exposure response function of the image sensor is employed, whereby the response of the sensor will be linearly related to the x-ray attenuation of an object being radiographed thereby enabling quantitative measurements to be made directly from the radiograph.
