Abstract
Various metal screen-film combinations have been investigated in order to determine the best radiographic image. The quality of these different combinations has been evaluated by measuring the scattered to primary film dose ratio S/P. The S/P ratio increases with increasing atomic number of the front screen for 4 MV x-rays but shows no significant difference for 8 MV x-rays. For rear screens the S/P ratio is slightly increased for higher atomic numbers. A metal with an atomic number around 26-29 should be an optimal metal screen regarding quality aspects. A cassette of stainless steel has, in clinical use for portal and/or verification films, given very good images.
