Digital X-Ray
Digital X-ray, or Digital Radiography, offers some distinct advantages over traditional film x-rays. Foremost is reduced radiation exposure, by as much as 90%, which makes dental x-ray taking safer and calms the patient fears about radiation exposure.
Digital x-ray generates pictures that are diagnostically equivalent to film based images, without some of the inconsistencies of film. A collection of powerful image enhancement tools allows remarkable viewing options. These tools allow zooming, brightness and contrast control, colorization, and a whole host of other enhancement features.
As a patient, you can really enjoy being able to actually see your x-rays on the computer screen. It helps you to understand your dental condition better and gets you involved in making treatment decisions.
