Response functions are useful for the analysis of radiography systems for the quantitative evaluation of the transmission of information from objects to be radiographed to images on films. In the gamma radiography, the films are exposed to secondary electrons generated by mutual action of the gamma -rays with lead foil sensitizers, thus a sort of signal transformation is carried out. Accordingly, the response function, in which the radiation penetration characteristics of theobjects to be radiographed and imagereceiving film system using radiation sources of /sup 170/ Tm, /sup 192/Ir, /su p 137/Cs, and /sup 60/ Co, and the optimum lead sensitizers for them are shown. In order to determine the response function of film system, radiation intensity changing sinusoidally is focused on the films, and the sinusoidal density distribution is examined. Another method is to examine the state of the extending images of point or line objects. Moreover, the spectra of radiation sources, the response function of scattered ray from objects to be radiographed, and the radiographed images with / sup 192/Ir source are calculated. The Nitka index, resolution, and unsharpness for evaluating image quality cars be derived by simple mathematical examination, if the response function of a system is known. (JA)
