Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Radiographic image contrast is primarily due to the photoelectric interactions between X-rays and the atoms of the imaged object. This interaction results in a loss of energy by the X-ray beam and contributes to the differences in image contrast seen in radiographic imaging. The other options, namely photodisintegration, Bremsstrahlung and Compton interactions, may contribute to image contrast to varying degrees but are not the principal cause.
