Image noise in a radiograph refers to the random variations in pixel values that can obscure or distort the true representation of tissues or structures within the image. It can result from various factors, including electronic interference, patient movement, or insufficient radiation exposure. High levels of noise can reduce the clarity and diagnostic quality of the image, making it challenging for radiologists to identify abnormalities. Reducing noise enhances the visibility of important details in the radiograph.
X-ray image.
Factors such as the strength of the magnetic field, the availability of advanced imaging technology, or the presence of artifacts in the image will not materially influence the image density of a radiograph.
A radiographic image of the Aorta is called an aortogram.

A radiograph is an image produced using radiography, such as an x ray. An example of this term in a sentence would be, "The doctor carefully examined the radiograph of the patient's shattered knee before suggesting a course of treatment."
Excessive vertical angulation.
electrons strike a target
A photographic image produced by the action of xrays or nuclear radiation is called a radiograph.
Impulse noise is a short duration noise.
1. Is it diagnostic? That is, does it answer the question that existed when the decision to take a radiograph was made? 2. Is the exposure adequate? Is it too light or too dark? 3. Is the anatomy present? Is it an image of what you wanted to look at? 4. Is the image distorted (elongated; foreshortened) enough to render it useless?
The varying shades of gray on a processed radiograph are known as radiographic density. This density represents differences in the degree of x-ray attenuation by the tissues, resulting in the visualization of different structures on the image.
An image produced on a radiosensitive surface, such as a photographic film, by radiation other than visible light, especially by x-rays passed through an object or by photographing a fluoroscopic image.
