← ScienceWhich outcome reduces a radiography device's image resolution in nuclear medical isotopes?
A)Auger electron emission increases sharply
B)Compton scattering events increase sharply✓
C)Pair production probability rises greatly
D)Photoelectric absorption becomes prevalent
💡 Explanation
Increased Compton scattering reduces a device's image resolution because secondary photons change direction via the Compton effect, therefore blurring the image, rather than image sharpening effects from photoelectric absorption involving inner shells and Auger cascades.
