Questions and Answers

What can cause streak artifacts in an image?

  • Low random errors
  • Proper detector measurements
  • Improper sampling of data (correct)
  • High X-ray intensity
  • What is a common reason for streak artifacts according to the text?

  • Consistent detector measurements
  • Low beam divergence
  • Tube arcing (correct)
  • System alignment
  • Why does a small structure like the edge of a bone contribute to image streaks?

  • It eliminates beam divergence
  • It attenuates the X-ray beam differently in different directions (correct)
  • It leads to consistent ray path measurements
  • It enhances the image quality
  • What happens during a 360 axial scan regarding the X-ray beam sampling?
