To assess the effect of digital enhancement on the image quality of radiographs obtained with photostimulable phosphor (PSP) plates partially damaged by ambient light. Radiographs of an aluminum step wedge were obtained using the VistaScan and Express systems. Half of the PSP plates was exposed to a...
