Benefits of Using Digital Radiology
Digital radiology benefits from advancements in technology, providing a clearer picture of what is going on in your muscles and bones and what is causing your pain. Since the images are digitally captured, the quality is superior to those captured by older machines, providing cleaner and crisper images, with the ability to zoom in and out when viewed onscreen. This makes it easier to find and diagnose hairline fractures and smaller tears, allowing for a more comprehensive diagnosis. Previous forms of radiology required a wait for film to be developed, taking up to several hours of painfully waiting in an ER or clinic for previous rolls to be processed and analyzed. Digital x-ray images can be processed in less than half a minute and require less exposure to harmful radiation, making it an overall safer experience. Digital files are also easier to keep track of; you won’t need to worry about lost films and prints for your medical records.
