The advantages of the system can be numerous. One of them is better image quality, wherein better trabecular details would be seen; another advantage is that there is absolutely no need for retakes. This would save time and money, as well as avoid additional radiation for the patient. There will also be no loss of films, because there is no danger of these images being misplaced or lost, unlike as in the case of conventional x-rays. It is also possible to obtain multiple images with one single exposure, and the images can be manipulated according to the need of the attending physician/s. In addition, it is also possible to obtain multiple images on one film, and images can also be provided on medium other than film, like for example, on a CD, on paper, or they can even be viewed on a monitor. These are some of the many advantages that the technology of Computed Radiography provides. (Computed Radiography, finally an affordable technological advancement for conventional radiology?)

The 'Direct Digital Radiography' System provides options for the transition to digital technology. This system offers the highest quality images that are available in DR today. Developed only in recent years, the system can be used across a large number of potential applications.The advantages of the system are that it consists of two types of detectors, one direct and the other, indirect. In the setup for its imaging, indirect sensors convert x-rays into light, and then convert that into electronic signals. The images depend on both signal profiles as well as on image resolution. The system relies on a scintillation method, wherein x-ray energy may be converted into light, and this light can then be converted into electronic signals by thin-film diodes. In the direct DR method, there is a flat panel detector in its setup, and this consists of an amorphous selenium semi-conductor x-ray absorber coating, over a thin film transistor array, made up of amorphous silicon. (Go directly from capture)

The x-ray photons that are obtained will be directly converted into electronic signals, and the advantage is that it eliminates the need for additional steps in order to capture and convert incident x-ray energy, as in other traditional methods. The innate advantage of the Direct Digital Radiography system is that the exam time would be reduced; the quality of care.....
