Which methods are utilized for image acquisition in digital radiography?

In digital radiography, the primary methods for image acquisition involve technologies specifically designed to capture and convert images into digital formats. The correct response identifies the methods that leverage advanced digital imaging technologies.

The term PSP refers to Photostimulable Phosphor, a technology used in Computed Radiography (CR). In this method, a phosphor plate is exposed to radiation, and upon stimulation with a laser, it emits light which is converted into a digital image. Flat panel detectors, associated with Digital Radiography (DR), utilize sensors such as thin-film transistors (TFT) to directly convert X-ray photons into electrical signals, facilitating immediate image capture and display. This results in superior image quality and a more efficient workflow compared to traditional methods.

The other options include technologies or methods that do not specifically pertain to digital radiography. Film/screen refers to the conventional method of capturing images on film using a light-sensitive emulsion, which is not digital. While CT (Computed Tomography) and MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) are imaging modalities, they do not fall under the category of digital radiography as they utilize different principles for image formation. Thus, their inclusion does not address the specific question regarding methods utilized for image acquisition in digital
