🗑
show Absorption Efficiency  
🗑
show Conversion Efficiency  
🗑
This is the product of the amount of energy absorbed and the amount of energy converted to useful output.   show
🗑
PSP Image Plates are scanned by a _________ _________ ___________ to extract the image data by causing electrons at high energy states to release their energy as a _________ ___________.   show
🗑
What happens to the electrons in a PSP image plate after it is scanned and releases the energy from the X-ray beam?   show
🗑
Thin Film Transistors in a _________-________ plate collects ___________ emitted from ___________ ___________ or ___________ ___________.   show
🗑
show Detector Elements or DELs  
🗑
The x-ray beam contains photons of varying energies and pass through varying densities of body tissue to the image receptor. What are these nonuniform, nonuseful variations that are captured that do not add to the useful information?   show
🗑

CCD's are excellent image receptors for _________________ imaging.   show
🗑
__________ is a measure of an image receptor's ability to create an output signal that accurately represents the input signal of the x-ray beam exiting the patient.   show
🗑
A higher DQE indicates that a receptor is _________ efficient in converting the input x-ray signal and this means that a __________ exposure is required to create an optimal image.   show
