Debris on the surface of the sensor may cause permanent radiopaque artifacts or radiolucent scratch marks on the dental image.Creasing appears as a thin radiolucent line seen on the image when film is used,and when using a PSP receptor,a crease appears as a white line.The image appears stretched and distorted on a film and on PSP receptor that is bent.A double image results and appears dark with superimposed structures when a receptor is exposed twice.
