A digital X-ray, also known as digital radiography, is a modern X-ray that uses digital sensors instead of film. It captures images of the body's internal structures and immediately transfers them to a computer.

Benefits of digital X-rays

Faster diagnosis : Images are available for immediate review and analysis by healthcare professionals.
Higher quality images : Digital enhancement produces images of adequate quality.
Reduced radiation exposure : Digital X-rays reduce radiation exposure compared to traditional X-rays.

Image transfer : Images can be easily transferred between departments and to other physicians.
Image storage : Digital X-rays reduce storage space requirements compared to traditional X-rays.

How digital X-rays work

X-ray bursts pass through the body, forming an image based on how much radiation passes through different organs.
Digital sensors convert the image into digital data in real time.
The image is displayed on a computer screen.

Applications of digital X-rays

Digital X-rays can be used to examine the extent of damage done during an injury, including bone breaks and fractures.
