In X-ray imaging, which option serves as the recording device?

• A. Energy
• B. Vacuum
• C. Recording (image receptor)
• D. Energy, Vacuum, and Recording (image receptor)

Answer: (C)

The recording device in X-ray imaging is the image receptor. It captures the X-ray photons that pass through the patient and converts them into a visible image or digital data, whether on film, phosphor plates (CR), or direct digital detectors (DR). Energy refers to the photons themselves, not the device that records the image, and vacuum is just the evacuated space inside the X-ray tube, not a recording medium. So the image receptor is the component that records the image.
