In 1895, when Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen produced an image of his wife's hand using x-rays, it was the advent of one of the most important technologies in diagnostic medicine.
There have been revolutionary developments in the field collectively known as radiology. Today we have computed tomography, nuclear medicine, invasive radiology such as heart catheterizing, and many other modern miracle tools.
Advances in radiology technology have been occurring at warp speeds. However, general purpose radiology as used by non-radiologists has not seen the rapid advances taking place in these other areas; that is until now.
Today, the buzz among private practitioners using x-ray is going digital. At long last, x-ray imaging as used in hospitals and most radiology offices is becoming affordable for a broad range of health care offices.
Digital Radiography: Affordability, Quality and Options
When first introduced by Fuji in the 1980’s, going digital was too expensive for many hospitals, let alone individual offices. These early systems, including related software, cost many hundreds of thousand dollars if not more. The support cost for the software and the computers being used could exceed the total revenue of a private practice. While the technology at that time was revolutionary, it pales in comparison to what is available today, and now with prices many practices can afford.
Even more important, is the quality of today's digital images and the software tools that are available for use with these images.
Some of the advantages of digital images are:
1. The excellent detail that can be obtained,
2. Numerous methods of image manipulation,
3. Time-savings for physicians,
4. Fast retrieval of patient studies including prior studies,
5. Elimination of film, chemistry and storage space for patient films,
6. Increased office efficiency, and many more.
Most systems allow images to be sent to other facilities for second reads automatically or with only a few keystrokes on a computer. If you want to see the images in your office from a remote location, that can be done also.
