The advantages of Digital Radiography are many.
First, there is up to 80% less radiation. It's faster and images can be
viewed instantly. Images can be enhanced in a variety of ways to improve
viewing. They can be stored electronically for instant retrieval in the
future, when needed. The chemicals traditionally used in the developing
process are avoided. Digital
Radiography is used with a small sensor connected directly to a computer
instead of a film packet. There is no need to reload a film positioner for
each image. It's also faster because the x-rays are available immediately on
the computer monitor, with no development step in between. Because the
sensor is more sensitive than conventional x-ray film, the amount of x-ray
radiation is reduced by up to 80 percent. Digital x-rays allow the doctor to
see details and make adjustments that are a tremendous help to our
diagnosis.
Digital radiography is an advanced technology
that speeds treatment and helps make the most accurate and efficient
diagnosis of your problems. The simple way to describe the basis of digital
technology is for a person to relate to the personal digital camera. Before
the digital age, people had cameras that had to be loaded with bulky rolls
of film that not only were difficult to load but you were unable to
manipulate, delete or view each image upon capture. With the introduction of
digital technology you can now take your picture, view it in seconds, and
have the option of sharing it electronically with family and friends. |
