Parallel cascades based linear systems model for signal and noise propagation through the CR based imaging system. Stages 0 through 2 correspond to x-ray image acquisition and activation of PSL-centers. Stage 3 represents the fading of the activated PSL-centers. Stages 4 through 6 represent the photostimulation and PSL emission within the PSP plate. Stages 7 through 9 represent the signal collection, temporal filtering along scan direction, and additive electronic noise arising from the CR reader.
