The PSP in computed radiography can retain residual energy from previous radiation
exposures. Therefore it is important for the radiographer to:
A) Scan the PSP imaging plate a second time to capture additional anatomic information for
the radiologist to interpret
B) Reduce the exposure factors used during subsequent radiographic procedures to take
advantage of residual energy, thereby optimizing ALARA
C) Remove the residual energy during post processing of the original image to avoid ghost
image artifacts
D) Erase any potential residual energy within the PSP by exposing the IP to intense light in
the CR scanner correct answers D) Erase any potential residual energy within the PSP by
exposing the IP to intense light in the CR scanner
