Questions and Answers

What does efficiency refer to in the context of CT detectors?

  • The size of the detector area facing the beam
  • The ability to accurately convert electrical signals into X-ray photons
  • The atomic number and physical density of the detector
  • Capturing, absorbing, and converting X-ray photons to electrical signals (correct)

Which factor contributes to capture efficiency in CT detectors?

  • Physical density of the detector face
  • Size and distance between two detectors (correct)
