Digital Radiography
Digital radiography is x-ray technology utilizing digital-detection systems. This technology provides quick and clear radiographic images. Many others refer to computed radiology (CR) as digital, but VREC offers a true digital radiography (DR) system.
Digital radiography uses sensors directed at the x-rays, allowing staff to manipulate the obtained image(s). Clinicians are able to view images in ways not possible using traditional film radiographs. Because digital radiography is much more sensitive than conventional radiology, a lower radiation dosage is possible. Digital radiographs can quickly viewed and evaluated. They also have the capability to be emailed to board-certified radiologists, allowing our clinicians access to advanced image interpretation.
