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

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

H H H H H H H H H

a. Increased patient radiation exposure H H H

b. Increased patient comfort H H

c. Increased speed for viewing images H H H H

d. Increased chemical usage H H

ANSWER: C H

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

film. Digital sensors are rigid and bulky, causing decreased patient comfort. The image from
H H H H H H H H H H H H H H

digital sensors is uploaded directly to the computer and monitor without the need for chemical

processing. This allows for immediate interpretation and evaluation. The image fromdigital
