WITH CR SOLUTIONS - CR CASSETTES, (LIKE FILM CASSETTES) ARE REQUIRED.

CR Solutions are least expensive and typically found in small to medium Private Practice settings... The image is created using a cassette containing a phosphor plate that replaces the conventional cassette with intensifying screens. The cassette with phosphor plate is placed in the table or wall cassette tray. Once the exposure is made, the cassette is removed and placed into the CR reader that scans and digitizes the image. The digital image is displayed on the monitor within 30 to 40 seconds. After the image has been digitized, the plate is then automatically erased for reuse.

WITH DR SOLUTIONS - NO CASSETTES ARE REQUIRED.

DR Solutions are typically found in large Private Practice, Orthopedic and Hospital settings... The electronic detector is mounted in the table or 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. No cassettes or reader / scanner is required

CLEARLY THERE ARE MANY ADVANTAGES TO DIGITAL IMAGING.

The advent of digital imaging has created an overwhelming interest and many questions on the part of Practitioners. Just as with radiographic equipment, there are multiple choices in capturing digital images.

For most, the ability to manipulate and share the image electronically along with elimination of the darkroom, processor, film, chemical and maintenance 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.

Digital radiology may represent the greatest technological advancement in medical imaging over the last decade. The use of radiographic films in x ray imaging might become obsolete in a few years. An appropriate analogy that is easy to understand is the replacement of typical film cameras with digital cameras. Images can be immediately acquired, deleted, modified, and subsequently sent to a network of computers.

The benefits from digital radiology are enormous. It can make a radiological facility or department filmless. The referring physician can view the requested image on a desktop or a personal computer and often report in just a few minutes after the examination was performed. The images are no longer held in a single location; but can be seen simultaneously by physicians who are kilometres apart. In addition, the patient can have the x ray images on a compact disk to take to another physician or hospital.
