Many people are curious about how DR (Digital Radiography) differs from traditional X-ray. Let’s break down their core differences and why DR is now the preferred choice.
1. Core Difference: Imaging Method
- Traditional X-ray: Relies on film imaging. X-rays pass through the human body and form images on physical film, which requires chemical development (water-washing) to view results.
- DR: Uses digital imaging. It works with a flat panel detector—after X-rays pass through the body, the detector converts the signal into a digital image, which is displayed directly on a computer screen.
2. Why DR Replaces Traditional X-ray
With technological development, digital imaging has gradually replaced film-based X-ray. Compared to traditional water-washed film:
- It drastically speeds up doctors’ ability to review patient conditions (no waiting for film development).
- It improves overall workflow efficiency, as digital images are easier to store, share, and retrieve.
