Pregunta
For a PSPP system, the barium [blank_start]fluorohalide[blank_end] phosphor layer absorbs the X-ray photons and stores them (X-rays not [blank_start]attenuated[blank_end] by patient). The image plate is then placed in a laser reader and this causes the stored X-rays to be released as light. A [blank_start]photomultiplier[blank_end] tube then detects this light energy and converts it into a voltage which is then interpreted by a computer and displayed as a digital image.

fluorohalide
