The relationship between pixel value and beam quality in photostimulable phosphor imaging.
A plate coated with photostimulable phosphor is used to capture the image in digital radiography systems.[5] This plate helps convert x-rays directly into data reconstructed at the computer.
The CR imaging plate is composed of a photostimulable phosphor, usually barium fluorohalide crystals doped with europium.
