Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The x-ray beam diverges as it travels from the subject to the imaging plane, creating an image that is larger that the subject. X-rays from different parts of the focal spot create slightly different images, resulting in a blurred edge to each part of the image, called a penumbra. Magnification of the penumbra decreases image detail.
