Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The active layer is the layer of the imaging plate that traps electrons during exposure. It contains photostimulated luminescent phosphors that absorb energy from the X-rays and store it as trapped electrons until they are released during readout, creating the digital image. The protective layer helps to shield the active layer from damage, the reflective layer reflects the light emitted by the trapped electrons to improve the efficiency of the readout process, and the support layer provides structural support to the imaging plate.
