Digital radiography (DR) is an increasingly valuable diagnostic tool. Some believe DR could very well be the greatest technological advancement in medical imaging in the last decade. Over the past two decades, the transition from traditional to digital radiography has proven to be simpler, safer, faster, and more cost-effective.

Digital imaging eliminates the chemical processing of films and frees up the used office space where the dark room and chemicals previously resided. A referring physician can easily view requested images on a desktop or personal computer and often report findings just a few moments from the exposure being acquired.

Additionally, DR gives practitioners the ability to enhance the visibility of detail and change and optimize the characteristics of digital images. Some of the numerous advantages of having images as digital data include:

• Ability to adjust and optimize contrast
• Rapid acquisition, storage and retrieval
• Ability to copy and duplicate without loss of image quality
• Ability to transfer images using internet connection
• Facilitates consultation between professionals
• Less physical storage space is required
• Optimizes communication with patients
