    Measurement of Contrast To Noise Ratio

    Uploaded by

    The document discusses measurement of contrast to noise ratio (CNR) according to ASTM E 2698. It states that CNR shall be measured in a 4T hole to prove image quality, and that a minimum CNR of 2.5 is currently required. However, this value may need revision. The visibility of indications in a radiographic image of a flat bottom hole depends on principles of scene brightness and perception threshold. The threshold at which an indication can be seen is a function of the diameter of the hole and the CNR.

    Measurement of Contrast to Noise Ratio

    by ASTM E 2698

    Noise • CNR shall be measured in the


    I=contrast 4T hole for proof of image quality.
    • A minimum CNR of 2.5 is
    required by ASTM E 2698.
    • This value needs to be revised!

    ASTM E 1025

    I CNR = 6.7
    C = I = 473
    Noise = 71
    SNR = 155
