Digital Radiography

Digital radiography utilizes computer technology and digital sensors for the acquisition, viewing, storage, and sharing of radiographic images.

The most significant advantage is that digital radiography reduces a patient's exposure to radiation. Other benefits are that images can be viewed instantly after being taken, can be seen simultaneously by multiple practitioners, and can be easily shared with other offices.

Digital x-rays are also safer for the environment as they do not require any chemicals or paper to develop. An electronic pad known as a sensor is used instead of film to acquire a digital image.
