VI.A.1.     The characteristic(s) of computed tomography (CT) which give(s) it a distinct advantage over conventional radiography is/are:

    a.     Higher visibility of detail (resolution).     No
    b.     Better contrast sensitivity (low contrast detectability).     Yes
    c.     Lower noise.     No
    d.     Fewer artifacts.     No

   Discussion:    CT is superior to radiography only in terms of a higher contrast sensitivity (low contrast detectability).   It has less visibility of detail.   Also, CT does not have lower noise or fewer artifacts generally.
