The Benefits of Digital Imaging
The first and most important advantage of digital technology is the elevated quality of care.  The imaging range of the digital receptor allows discovery of problems like hairline fractures that are unnoticeable with conventional film-based systems. In other words, you have in your hands a much better diagnostic tool that provides immediate and precise diagnosis.  At the same time, the reduction in re-takes reduces stress for your patients. Elimination of film
Digital imaging directly eliminates the use of film, but more importantly, eliminates the need of darkrooms and storage space, the processing and disposal of chemicals, time-consuming film duplication, and the retakes due to poor image quality.  Digital imaging provides superior image quality and enhancement options.  The ability to manipulate the digital data exemplifies the superiority of digital imaging over film-based systems.  The advanced digital environment allows an operator to:
 Enlarge the image
 Alter the contrast
 Alter the brightness
 Reverse the image ( from negative to positive)
 Make exact digital measurements and annotations
 Save the file in a near limitless number of variations
 Share images for consultations
 all with a click of a mouse button.  Interpreting the image is also easier because the digital medium allows you to adjust aspects of the image that can cloud the view. Film is not capable of such manipulation.  The transition to digital imaging may seem like a major capital expenditure, however with a careful analysis of the bigger picture, you will discover that digital x-ray is more cost effective than film-based systems and the Digital Imaging systems provide advanced features and tangible benefits that exemplify the superiority of digital technology. Your transition to digital technology provides immediate value by demonstrating the commitment of your practice to provide the highest level of care.
