X-ray technology plays a major role in the diagnosis or screening of various medical problems and health issues. Traditional X-rays have been used for more than 100 years using film to create the structure of internal body structure and with advancement in technology and use of modern computer technology, digital radiography has made this process cost-effective, fast, and even safe for producing diagnostic images.
What is Digital Radiography?
Digital Radiography (DR) or Direct Digital Radiography is a type of advanced X-ray inspection technology that produces a digital radiographic image instantly on a computer
This technique is filmless and allows the immediate acquisition and transfer of films to a computer system that generates an image at once. Digital radiography uses digital detectors instead of using film that helps to both detect and store image data, as it produces a digital image that is stored separately on a digital medium.
What is DR Retrofit?
DR Retrofit is a lightweight, wireless, rugged cassette-sized detector that can convert analog X-ray to full digital radiography solutions. This technology replaces the use of film or computed radiography (CR) plates by creating digital X-ray images. This technology involves the conversion of transmitted X-ray photons into digital images using solid-state detectors array and computers processor to display the image. DR Retrofit is mobile digital radiographs that can replace traditional film and computed radiography. In DR Retrofit incident X-ray is converted into equivalent electric charge and to digital image through a detector sensor.
Digital radiography is more cost-effective as the film used in traditional X-rays test is more expensive. Using DR Retrofit digital X-ray, one has to no longer count on how many pictures they have taken. In DR Retrofit digital detection is based on the conversion of absorbed X rays into electric charge and it is finally represented in greyscale images to show the final outcome using processing software. Storage space is virtually unlimited and the experts can transfer images onto a hard drive afterward. The digital images can be saved and easily accessed at any time without any image degradation.
Why and how to switch to Digital Radiography with the help of DR Retrofit?
The film-based traditional radiography is labor-intensive compared to its digital counterpart and even the consumables used in a film-based radiograph are also costly.
Digital X-rays are quickly and easily transmitted and are additional saving. DR Retrofit digital radiography has the capability to reduce the exposure of radiation to the patient and is quite cost-effective. There is no need to store need of one more room to store radiographs and unused film. It will also help in the reduction of chemical waste and will also benefit the environment, digital X-ray images can be enhanced to assist in making a precise diagnosis as the images can be colorized, enlarged, and sharpened. Digital X-rays can be stored in the patient’s digital file and can be viewed instantly at a later date.
