Digital or direct digital radiography has been one of the most significant technological advancements over the past ten years. Digital X-rays use X-ray-sensitive plates to capture data directly and instantly transfer it to a computer system. Digital radiography X-rays can be immediately acquired, read, and sent to other practitioners. They have many advantages over their traditional counterparts, making them the preferred imaging system in most medical facilities. Let's uncover if this type of radiography is right for you and your practice.
