Image Receptor System - Video Lesson

Hey, everybody. Welcome back in this quality control lesson. We're talking about quality control procedures related to the image receptor system. So let's start with detector calibrations. Each detector should be calibrated to produce the same response to the same radiation exposure levels. Let's just look an example of what this means. So let's say we expose three different detectors, and we'll expose the first one to five mass at eighty five KVP, and the detector response will measure as the deviation index. We'll say we get a deviation index of one. If we expose the second image receptor. In other words, a different detector, but with the same exposure settings, we should get the same deviation index. I mean, how confusing would it be if you use the same exposure values, but got a different response from
