Quizplus · Accepted Answer

White light is used to erase the anatomical image from the phosphor plate. The light activates the electrons in the phosphors and releases the energy stored during the exposure, erasing the image and preparing the plate for the next use. Laser beams, electric current, and electric charges are not used to erase the image on the imaging plate.
