DIGITAL RADIOGRAPHS
Digital radiography is a form of x-ray imaging, where digital X-ray sensors are used instead of traditional photographic film.
There are many advantages of using Digital radiographs:
Less radiation. The reduction in radiation offered by digital radiography—usually 70 to 80 percent, and at times even more—allows multiple images for the same radiation exposure involved in a single images obtained via conventional radiography. This reduction in radiation is especially important in treatments were multiple images frequently are needed. Also less radiation can be used to produce an image of similar contrast to conventional radiography.
Communication with other practitioners. One of the most useful advantages of digital radiography is the ability it gives clinicians to send images to other practitioners in a matter of minutes, even while talking on the telephone.
Immediate observation of radiographic images. In conventional radiographic techniques, the delay in reading the image usually forces the clinician to change gloves and do something else as the radiograph undergoes development. On returning to the patient, the clinician must wash his or her hands, don new gloves and reorient himself or herself to the clinical procedure at hand.
