[en] With single-emulsion films like those used in screen/film mammography, if the developing temperature is higher and/or the processing time is longer than recommended (i.e., extended-cycle process), film speed and/or film contrast are effectively increased. However, it can also be expected that radiographic noise will be increased by the extended-cycle process. Therefore, film graininess and radiographic mottle were investigated with standard- and extended-cycle processes in four single-screen/single-emulsion film systems for mammography, the Konica M-150/New CM, Fuji UM MAMMO Fine/UM-MA HC, Kodak Min-R 2000/Min-R 2000, and Kodak Min-R Medium/Min-R M. Investigation was carried out by measurement of the Wiener spectrum (WS). Results showed that the WS of film graininess increased in all films. The increase was greatest in Min-R M, and the rate of increase at 2.0 cycles/mm was 1.67 or more. The film showing the smallest increase was UM-MA HC, for which the rate of increase was 1.03-1.21. There were cases in which the spatial frequency at a 50 percent contribution rate of film graininess to radiographic mottle changed to a low spatial frequency. When only the increase in WS of radiographic mottle was examined, the increase was greatest in Min-R Medium/Min-R M, and the rate of increase at 2.0 cycles/mm was 1.65 or more. Min-R 2000/Min-R 2000 showed the least increase, and the rate of increase was 1.12-1.24. Increases in WS values were larger at 0.1-0.5 cycle/mm than at 2.0 cycles/mm when investigating the influence of trend using film graininess, and roller marks and so on could not be specified as a cause.
