Abstract
THE gain in brightness with an X-ray image intensifier is accompanied by a more or less disturbing effect, namely, the visibility of a kind of visual ‘noise’, especially when the X-ray intensity is low, the intensification factor of the intensifier is high (greater than 1,000 times) and the optical magnification of the final image large.
