They are an extension of traditional photographic sensitometric techniques and are used to adjust the contrast in selected brightness ranges within the image.

Regular monitoring and quality control programs for most wet and dry laser imaging systems include the generation of a standard step-wedge image or a Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) test image generated by built-in software and the production of a hard copy for sensitometric analysis.

The stability of dry and wet laser imaging systems

Its usefulness in processor QC lies in the fact that it can create a predictable, reproducible image, thus assuring that fluctuations in the QC chart are caused by changes in processor chemistry and not by exposure differences in the sensitometric image.

Mammography processor quality assurance. (Directed Reading)

This increase in exposure moves densities outside the straight-line portion of the sensitometric curve, causing an associated decrease in contrast.[7] Underexposure occurs when the photon intensity is less than required to produce an optimal image, resulting in a light image with considerable mottle.[7]
