C-8/193 sector 8 rohini delhi 9811552279 7827070020 A digital X-ray uses a digital detector and computer system to capture high-resolution images of the body's internal structures, offering immediate results, the ability to enhance and manipulate images, and easier electronic storage and sharing compared to traditional film X-rays. This technology provides a higher quality image with more detail, can reduce patient radiation exposure, and is used across various medical fields for diagnosing conditions like fractures, infections, and tumors. How It Works 1. Capture: Instead of film, a digital detector (like a flat-panel detector) captures the X-ray energy directly or indirectly. 2. Process: This energy is converted into digital data, which is then sent to a computer system. 3. View: The computer processes the data, producing a high-quality digital image almost instantly. 4. Enhance: The image can be adjusted for contrast, brightness, and other parameters using software to provide better visualization of details. Advantages Higher Image Quality: Provides higher resolution and clarity, allowing healthcare providers to see more fine details. Immediate Results: Eliminates the need for chemical processing, making images available for review right away. Image Manipulation: Software tools allow for image enhancement, making it easier to see specific areas of concern. Reduced Radiation: Often uses less radiation than traditional X-rays, lowering exposure risk for patients and staff. Digital Storage & Sharing: Images are stored electronically and can be quickly and securely shared with other specialists for consultations. Versatility: Used in a wide range of medical specialties, including orthopedics, cardiology, and dentistry. Applications Digital X-rays are used to diagnose and monitor numerous conditions, including: Bone fractures and joint problems, Respiratory infections (like pneumonia), Digestive disorders, Cardiovascular diseases, and Tumors.
