b b b b b b b b b



a. Increased patient radiation exposure b b b



b. Increased patient comfort b b



c. Increased speed for viewing images b b b b



d. Increased chemical usage b b




ANSWER: C b



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



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

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