Digital images acquired on radiography systems with amorphous selenium detectors are susceptible to "memory artifacts" from prior x-ray exposures. In routine clinical use and in a laboratory experiment, artifacts appeared in chest radiographs until the selenium recovered from initial exposure. Memory artifacts were eliminated when 3 minutes or more elapsed between acquisition of a lateral chest radiograph and acquisition of the next radiograph.
