506.True regarding digital radiography .
a. Detective quantum efficiency (DOE) reflects the efficiency of phosphor detection and noise added to the detector signal
b.DQE may be 100% in DR system
c.DQE of CR system and film-screen system is close to 30%
d.Disadvantage of DR in comparison to CR are cost and versatility
e.a DR system  have the same flexibility in positioning as a CR plate


506.acd-- Detective quantum efficiency (DOE) reflects the efficiency of phosphor detection and noise added to the detector signal. DQE for  DR system may be as high as 65%.DQE  are lower than 100% because of less than 100% absorption of X-rays in the device and internal sources of noise.(Chapter 5, page no.87,second edition (2008),Farr’s Physics for Medical Imaging).
