areas on the radiograph. The edge definition or detail is not present because<br />

<strong>of</strong> certain factors or conditions which exist in the imaging system.<br />

In review, it is entirely possible to have radiographs with the following<br />

qualities:<br />

■ Low contrast and poor detail<br />

■ High contrast and poor definition<br />

■ Low contrast and good definition<br />

■ High contrast and good definition<br />

One must bear in mind that radiographic contrast and definition are not<br />

dependent upon the same set <strong>of</strong> factors. If detail in a radiograph is originally<br />

lacking, then attempts to manipulate radiographic contrast will have no effect<br />

on the amount <strong>of</strong> detail present in that radiograph<br />
