Abstract
When the power spectrum of radiographic noise is estimated from scans obtained with a microdensitometer equipped with a rectangular slit, a bias is present due to the finite length of this slit. A method to correct for this bias was developed and was tested on both a simulated and a measured spectrum. No bias remains with our method, in situations where a conventional method shows a significantly biased result. Good agreement was found with the synthesized slit method, described by Sandrik and Wagner.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
