CONT

Quanta Super Rapid Speed is relatively linear in the 70-120 kvp range typically used in diagnostic radiography. A slight K-edge absorption shift relative to calcium tungstate screens has negligible practical effect.

OBS

[La transcription française du contexte de la demande SVP devrait donner à peu près ceci :] [...] ces écrans présenteraient un léger déplacement du seuil d'absorption K par rapport aux écrans au tungstate de calcium

OBS

Équivalent obtenu auprès d'un professeur de physique à l'Université de Montréal. Selon ce dernier, le terme anglais «K-edge absorption» qui a été soumis au service des consultations est mal tourné et il est préférable de parler du «side absorption K».
