a. film was used
b. a computer was used to reconstruct the images
c. a detector array was used
d. it was used only for extremity imaging

b. produce the beam of x-rays
c. increase the x-ray exposure of the film
d. measure the x-rays that pass through the patient's body
2 only correct answers Detectors were incorporated into CT scanner designs to replace film
because detectors:

by a computer
3. are safer than film
a. 1 & 2
b. 2 only
c. 3 only
