What this question is testing
Objective: Digital Image Acquisition
Prompt focus: How is the stored image on an exposed photostimulable phosphor (PSP) plate read?
Why the correct answer works
A scanner stimulates the plate with a laser
Laser scanning releases the stored image signal.
Why the tempting wrong answer fails
Fixer is used for conventional film.
Plain-language takeaway
PSP imaging stores exposure energy until scanning releases light that is converted into digital data.
Simple analogy
