The technology in the X-ray industry has been very remarkable in recent years. Currently, it is possible to have high-precision digital radiology, which facilitates image analysis, decision-making and the issuance of correct diagnoses in a short time. But what are the main characteristics of DR radiology? We list them below.
Digital radiology process
Currently, digital radiography equipment works under the same principles of X-ray emission and its interaction with the human body as conventional equipment. Of course, they differ from traditional methods in the way images are captured and processed.
When we talk about direct digital radiography, what the equipment does is capture the X-rays through a radiation-sensitive circuit board, thus generating an image that can be seen in real time on a computer screen. In the case of indirect digital radiography, radiological equipment captures the X-rays through a phosphor plate that must be scanned in order to view the image.
Guarantee greater workflow
Direct digital radiology (DR) offers higher performance than computational radiology (CR). This is because by obtaining the images in real time, it is possible to incorporate the processing cycle into the acquisition task.
Digital radiology is more efficient with dose
Equipment of this type produces images of excellent quality, with a much lower dose than that required by CR to achieve similar results.
Flexibility, mobility, equipment and cost
Another advantage of the radiography equipment used for DR is that it is developed with state-of-the-art technology. This allows them to offer endless functions, as well as being ergonomic, guaranteeing mobility and being highly flexible.
Best of all, the latest technological advances and significant cost reductions have made DR digital radiography equipment increasingly affordable to the general public, thus contributing to the digitalization of medicine globally.
