A digital X-ray, or digital radiography, is a modern type of X-ray that utilises digital sensors instead of photographic film, as with a traditional X-ray. The image captured is converted to digital data immediately and is available for review within seconds.

Digital X-rays are like the digital cameras we have today. They still use X-rays as the standard X-rays; the only difference is that their sensors are connected to a computer and not a film. This enables the modern X-ray to capture clearer and more accurate images as compared to its predecessor.

Image Clarity

The whole point of using radiography is to peer into the body and detect health issues that otherwise cannot be viewed with the naked eye. For this to happen, you need to produce clear images.

Digital radiography, as compared to its predecessor, produces far sharper images, since digital sensors aid in creating higher resolution images. This aids our doctors to see even the smallest detail that would easily be missed.

The images are instantly produced when using digital radiographs, and there is no need to process them as you would do with standard X - rays.
