Digital Radiography

Images are obtained clearly and in high quality within seconds and are quickly evaluated by the physician on the computer screen. Since chemical processing for film printing is not required, it is a safe and environmentally friendly method for technicians in terms of occupational health.

Advantages include;

• Short duration of X-ray (radiation) exposure measurable in seconds,
• Superior in displaying fine details,
• Quick results since chemical processing for film printing is not required,
• Ability to store images digitally in the PACS system for years and compare with previous images if needed,
• Ability to electronically transmit results to the physician and patient (even those miles away) and obtain consultations from distant physicians,
• Reduced need for retakes as images can be evaluated instantly,
• Environmentally friendly as no chemicals are used.
