If the DQE is too high

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DQE, or Detective Quantum Efficiency, measures how effectively an imaging system converts the x-ray input signal into a useful output image. A high DQE means the system is efficient, producing clearer images with less noise. Therefore, if the DQE is too high, it does not directly result in a noisy or grainy image; instead, a low DQE would lead to such quality issues. The options provided seem to misunderstand the concept of DQE, as a high DQE is generally desirable and does not lead to increased noise or patient dose. However, based on the options given and common misunderstandings, it's important to clarify that a high DQE is beneficial for image quality and does not inherently cause the issues described in the other options.
