THE DIGITAL WORLD - YOUR OPTIONS 
The following is a brief description of the types of
Digital Capture available:
The advent of digital imaging has
created an overwhelming interest and many questions on the
part of many Practitioners. Just as with radiographic
equipment, there are multiple choices in capturing digital
images.
CR
- (Computed Radiography) Systems “Cassettes
Required”
DR - (Direct Radiography) Systems “No Cassettes Required” - Two Types:
Type 1 - CCD (Charged Coupled Device) Systems:
DR - CCD Utilizes a digital image receptor, similar to a digital camera. The digital receptor is energized by the x-ray beam and read by a high resolution camera. The image is displayed on a monitor within 7 to 10 seconds. The CCD receptor in the DCChoice for Chiropractic replaces your wall unit. The CCD receptor for the DRds mounts into the base of the table and moves along the table base. The CCD receptor is coupled with the tubestand to provide the ability to move the CCD receptor and x-ray beam rather than have to jostle the patient in the imaging path. Patient positioning is further enhanced when the optional float top table is added.
Type 2 - DR (Direct Radiography) Flat Panel Detector Systems. These technologies are typically found in hospital and Orthopedic settings.

With DR, an electronic detector is mounted in the wall holder. After making an exposure, the detector directly captures the image, which is then displayed on the monitor in 7 to 10 seconds. Once the image is captured, the detector is then ready for the next view.
Clearly there are many advantages to digital imaging.
For most, the ability to manipulate and share the image electronically along with elimination of the darkroom are on the top of the list of reasons to consider digital imaging. Digital imaging is quickly taking hold in the medical, chiropractic and veterinary markets as costs have declined and the need for pruductivity has increased in the last year.

ALL AMERICANS Are supposed to have electronic health records (including X-Ray's) by 2014 under a goal set by President George W. Bush. His administration has funded the U.S. Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, but has otherwise relied on private industry to spur wider use of information technology in the health sector.
