1. densitometry

   Densitometry is a quantitative technique used to measure the optical density or absorbance of a substance in response to light or other electromagnetic radiation. It is often used in photography and printing to measure and control image density, as well as in medicine for bone density tests or to measure body composition. Drawing information from these measurements, densitometry can help with the diagnosis of conditions like osteoporosis.

1. Densitometry

   Densitometry is the quantitative measurement of optical density in light-sensitive materials, such as photographic paper or photographic film, due to exposure to light. Optical density is a result of the darkness of a developed picture and can be expressed absolutely as the number of dark spots in a given area, but usually it is a relative value, expressed in a scale. Since density is usually measured by the decrease in the amount of light which shines through a transparent film, it is also called absorptiometry, the measure of light absorption through the medium. The corresponding measuring device is called a densitometer. The logarithm of the reciprocal of the transmittance is called the absorbance or density. DMax and DMin refer to the maximum and minimum density that can be recorded on the material. The difference between the two is the density range. The density range is related to the exposure range, which is the range of light intensity that is represented by the recording, via the Hurter–Driffield curve. The dynamic range can be measured in "stops", which is the binary logarithm of the ratio of highest and lowest distinguishable exposures.
