negative electrode of a vacuum tube traveled in straight lines, produced heat, and resultedin a
xo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo



greenish fluorescence. William Crookes discovered in the late 1870s that cathode rays were
xo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo



streams of charged particles. xo xo xo

xo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo



a. Increased patient radiation exposure xo xo xo



b. Increased patient comfort xo xo



c. Increased speed for viewing images xo xo xo xo



d. Increased chemical usage xo xo




ANSWER: C xo



Patient exposure is reduced with digital imaging. Digital sensors are more sensitive to x-
xo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo



rays than film. Digital sensors are rigid and bulky, causing decreased patient comfort. The ima
xo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo



ge from digital sensors is uploaded directly to the computer and monitor without the need for
xo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo



chemical processing. This allows for immediate interpretation and evaluation. The image from
