Questions and Answers

What is the most significant advantage of digital imaging regarding exposure correction?

  • Instant availability of images for immediate interpretation
  • Inherent resistance to overexposure and underexposure
  • Post-processing adjustments for brightness and contrast (correct)
  • Ability to retake images without any cost implications
  • How does the spatial resolution of solid-state receptors compare to film and phosphor plates?

  • Solid-state receptors achieve better resolution than both film and phosphor plates
  • Solid-state receptors have the highest resolution at 25 lp/mm (correct)
  • Solid-state receptors have lower resolution than film
  • Solid-state receptors do not have a measurable resolution
  • What occurs during overexposure in X-ray imaging?

  • The image appears too light for satisfactory interpretation
  • The image retains all original details without modification
  • The image shows undesired pixelation
  • The image appears too dark, obscuring details (correct)
