| What are the materials used for PSP imaging receptors? | Europium activated barium fluorohalide phosphors (2) |
| What are the pros to PSP imaging receptors? | High contrast resolution and they are light weight (2) |

| What is rescaling? | pixels change to a defined scale to show the same amount of blacks, grays, and whites in an image (2) |
| What is flatscaling? | ensuring the same brightness throughout the image by altering the pixel values (2) |
| What is edge enhancement? | Defines fine details in an image; improves contrast resolution but could pick up scatter radiation (2) |
| What is equalization? | Getting rid of the most black and most white pixels in and image (2) |
| What is smoothing? | smooths out the image to get rid of noise (2) |
