DIGITAL X-RAY IS OFFERED AT ALL THREE OF OUR LOCATIONS!!!
Digital radiography is a form of x-ray imaging where digital X-ray sensors are used instead of traditional photographic film. Advantages include time efficiency through bypassing chemical processing and the ability to digitally transfer and enhance images. Also, less radiation can be used to produce an image of similar contrast to conventional radiography.
Digital Radiography (DR) or (DX) is essentially filmless X-ray image capture. In place of X-ray film, a digital image capture device is used to record the X-ray image and make it available as a digital file that can be presented for interpretation and saved as part of the patient’s medical record. The advantages of DR over film include immediate image preview and availability, a wider dynamic range which makes it more forgiving for over- and under-exposure as well as the ability to apply special image processing techniques that enhance the overall display of the image.
At Breidenbach Chiropractic we feel it is very important to have the digital X-ray machine to help us determine the cause of your pain. Digital X-rays can be easily shared with other healthcare professionals as requested by the patient, via e-mail or CD.
