Q

Overexposure is when the_ intensity reaching the receptor is_ than the required to produce an_image

A

photon, higher, optimal

16
Q

If exposure is>100% above the optimal signal level, the ALARA principle is_, and the extra scatter generated will degrade the_?

A

violated, contrast

17
Q

When the exposure field is not recognized, the off-focus radiation and scatter outside the exposure field become part of the_?

A

histogram

18
Q

Currently, each major vendor uses a unique_ indicator whose values indicates the exposure delivered to the plate.

A

exposure

19
Q

With CR,cutoff does not result in a light image, due to the automatic of the image.

A

grid

20
Q

Since the image contrast is generally determined through the processing_, the_ does not have the impact on final image contrast as with screen/film systems.

A

algorithm, kVp

21
Q

The_alignment is_centered to the plate with four collimation margins parallel to the cassette edges.

A

optimal, feild

22
Q

Because of their wide dynamic range, PSP plates are much more susceptible to_ than are film-screen systems.

A

fogging
