Technology ยป Digital Radiography (X-ray)
Why digital?
Over the last few years, as the digital x-ray detectors are becoming increasingly popular, it has become clear that the digital x-ray imaging will indeed revolutionize diagnostic radiology in the same way the digital cameras revolutionized the photography.
The digital radiography has many advantages over the traditional radiography:
- It is environmentally friendly: requires no film and no chemicals
- Instant images allow for immediate feedback and less waiting time
- Provides better resolution than the traditional film
- With the help of digital image enhancement techniques it increases the diagnostic accuracy allowing the dentist to detect problems in early stages and prevent them from aggravating
- It significantly (70-80%) reduces the patient exposure to radiation
- Allows the patient to visualize the issues himself and better understand the treatment
