Digital Radiology
What is Digital radiography?
Digital radiography (DR) is an advanced form of x-ray which produces a digital radiographic image instantly on a computer. This technique uses x-ray sensitive plates to capture data during object examination, which is immediately transferred to a computer.
Why is it useful?
By offering the ability to immediately view the data during the examination, the process allows us to view the images that assist in diagnosis and start treatment promptly.
