![]() ![]() In veterinary medicine, the transition from analog (film-to-screen) radiographic imaging to digital radiographic imaging has occurred more quickly than most would have anticipated. This latter situation will be discussed in more detail later when charge-coupled device (CCD) digital radiography systems are described. ![]() A new x-ray machine purchase could be considered if the existing unit is substandard, or if the hardware associated with the new digital-imaging system is actually housed in the x-ray table. Thus, to make the transition from analog to digital imaging, purchase of a new x-ray machine is typically not necessary. Digital radiographic imaging is not photographing a radiographic film image with a digital camera, nor is it running a radiographic film image through a film scanner to convert the hard copy image into a digital file.Ĭonventional x-ray machines are used for digital radiography. ![]() This process is much like that of acquiring a photograph with a digital camera where the camera records the pattern of colors and intensities irradiating from an object and converts that information to a picture. Digital radiographic imaging is (1) electronic measurement of the pattern of x-ray transmission through the patient, (2) conversion of the electronic measurement into a digital computer file, and (3) viewing the digital file on a computer monitor. ![]()
