Which digital image receptor uses plates coated with a storage phosphor to store the x-ray energy until stimulated by a laser beam?
A) Charge-coupled device
B) Photostimulable phosphor
C) Complementary metal oxide semiconductor
B
Explanation: A) Photostimulable phosphor technology uses polyester plates coated with a storage phosphor (europium-activated barium fluorohalide) that stores the x-ray energy as a latent image until stimulated by a laser beam to convert the energy into an image on a computer monitor.
