| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Which of the following is the principal source of noise on a radiographic image? | Scatter radiation |
| What are the principal characteristics of any medical image? | Contrast resolution, noise, artifacts, and spatial resolution |
| Which of the following are considered a source of image noise in computed radiography? | Inadequate sampling |
| Which sequence of events is correct concerning the production of a PSL signal? | Expose, stimulate, read, erase |
| What takes place during the stimulate step in the production of a PSL signal? | The latent image is stimulated from the interactions of an infrared laser beam with the PSP. |
| What takes place during the expose step in the production of a PSL signal? | An energy transfer results from the excitation of electrons into a metastable state. |
