gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh
a. Increased patient radiation exposure gh gh gh
b. Increased patient comfort gh gh
c. Increased speed for viewing images gh gh gh gh
d. Increased chemical usage gh gh
ANSWER: C gh
Patient exposure is reduced with digital imaging. Digital sensors are more sensitive to x-
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh
rays than film. Digital sensors are rigid and bulky, causing decreased patient comfort.
