Abstract

A particular system for computed radiography uses a photostimulable phosphor which is scanned by a laser that reads and also erases the storage medium. The process of reading and erasing is called destructive scanning, and a model of its effects is presented here. Model predictions of system dc gain vs. scanning exposure for the case of raster scanning with a Gaussian beam are compared with measured data.
