[APML] scanner as densitometer

["Dale Ireland" <direland@drdale.com>]

hello
I have some rolls of Royal Gold 200 that took a long trip to Australia and
back, through airport security checked luggage, one through carry on x-ray,
one in a lead bag, and one little piggy stayed home. The film was unexposed
and after development there are some very slight differences that can be
seen when the strips are laid out on a light table. I would like to quantify
the results and I am wondering if there is a way to use my Sprintscan 4000
as a densitometer.
If I take raw scan would the scanner's calibration routine overwhelm and
confuse any differences in the essentially "clear" negatives or preserve the
very slight fogging so I could get a reading in Photoshop that would have
any meaning? Any suggestions?
Dale
