DR digital radiography (x-ray) systems are being increasingly widely used, and for good reason. DR stands for direct digital radiography. DR systems use a digital detector panel rather than film or cassettes for collecting the image.
DR has many advantages over older systems, including using less radiation to capture those digital images.
CSCAN’s choice of digital x-ray has been specifically designed to answer ecological & dose concerns.
Replacing a two analog X-Ray room configuration with one digital room allows CSCAN to
- Reduce predicted energy consumption by 78%
- Eliminate the need for water in film processing and save > 600,000 liters of water per year
- Provide digital image review, which can eliminate 50,000 analog films and 7,200 liters of fixer and developer annually
In addition to all the above benefits, the images are visibly better than older systems such as film screen combination or hybrid CR systems.
