PACS – FINAL EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS 2026 VERIFIED.
Which radiographic image capture method uses chemical development to produce the manifest
image? - ANS Film/screen radiography
Which company was the first to introduce PSP imaging commercially in the United States? -
ANS Fuji
Which radiographic image capture method uses an x-ray absorber material coupled to a thin
film transistor or a charge-coupled device (CCD) to form the digital radiographic image? -
ANS FPD - Flat panel detector
When x-rays strike a photostimulable phosphor material, ______ is released. - ANS light
the exposure latitude of digital projection radiography responds in a ____ manner -
ANS linear
What format must images be in order to be sent throughout the image viewing system? -
ANS DICOM
Patient demographics are unimportant because the RIS will automatically identify all digital
images. - ANS False
Digital systems are less sensitive to scatter radiation than film/screen systems. - ANS False
, This allows digital images to be moved between different geographic locations. -
