A Mathmagical Solution for fibrous dosimetry film! *
RIT has developed a complex set of image processing algorithms to correct for the non-uniformities in each piece of film. Use this routine to correct for fiber scatter and scanner roller issues.

*In all cases, the application of the new RIT background correction algorithm improved the results of radiochromic film. Using the correction, the percentage of pixels exceeding the gamma threshold dropped from 8.1% to 4.6%. IMRT QA results with the RIT background corrected radiochromic films were comparable to radiographic films.”

“I lost my film processor. I’m using radiochromic film with RIT’s Radiochromic Film Uniformity Correction*. My results are as good as if I were using radiographic film.* I love the flexibility - it also accepts my generic TIFF, JPEG and BMP images.”
