Thanks sir

Thanks a ton,,,it is very helpful

why are imaging plates more sensitive to radiation than film?

[@RockTheRegistry]

Great question. It boils down to quantum efficiency. Basically the molecules used to create digital receptors are more readily subject to ionization. A number of factors contribute - size, state, composition.

What is the process of photostimulation in the imaging plate

How latent image is formed in the PSP?

[@RockTheRegistry]

Great question! It has to do with properties of the crystal in the active layer. Typically the material used is cesium iodide. When an x-ray photon ionizes the cesium iodide, the crystal changes it's structure. As this happens across the entire PSP, it creates a latent image. Later when the PSP is scanned by the laser, the crystals return to a more stable state, releasing energy in the form of blue-violet light which is picked by the photomultiplier tube and used to create the radiographic image.

What is the textbook you using?

[@RockTheRegistry]

Like three different books: bushong, carroll, and carter
