Past Q Flashcards
Please list two main advantages of digital (direct) radiography over computed radiography!
A: DR improves workflow by producing higher quality images instantaneously while providing 2 to 3 times more dose efficiency than CR.
Additionally :
- X-ray photons are directly converted to a digital signal
- Time and productivity savings (= reduces the long processing conventional radiography to seconds)
- Images are instantly stored and ready to view on the computer
- In some cases patient is exposed to significantly reduced radiation doses
