A device that acts like a switch to send electrical charges to the image processor in a direct conversion flat-panel detector is known as a ______ transistor.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The device described in the question is a type of transistor that controls the flow of electrical charges in the flat-panel detector. The key phrase in the question is "acts like a switch", which is referring to the field-effect transistor (FET) that is commonly used in these detectors. Thin-field and thin-film transistors are not standard components in flat-panel detectors, and there is no such thing as a field-energy transistor. Therefore, the best choice is B) Field-effect transistor.
