If you’ve shopped for X-ray machines, you’ve probably heard sales teams say: “DR imaging gives results right away.” Is this claim accurate? Yes—and it all comes down to how DR imaging works.
The Science Behind DR’s “Instant” Imaging
Like all X-ray systems, DR uses invisible X-rays to create images. The key difference lies in how it converts those invisible rays into visible images—quickly and digitally. Here’s the step-by-step process:
- X-rays pass through the human body and reach the DR flat-panel detector (FPD).
- The detector converts the incoming X-ray (optical) signals directly into electrical signals.
- These electrical signals are transmitted to a computer via Ethernet or WiFi—no physical film needed.
- Specialized software processes the signals and renders a clear image on the computer screen.
This entire process takes only about 1 second. Unlike traditional film X-rays (which require time-consuming development), DR cuts out the middle steps—so “instant imaging” is not an exaggeration.
