Instead of using photographic film, digital x-rays systems use sensors to produce an image. On the opposite side of the sensor, a digital receptor captures the incoming x-ray, which is then converted into a digital image and sent to a computer. Unlike a conventional x-ray which must be developed in a darkroom, a digital x-ray can be viewed almost immediately.

There are many benefits to using this technology, including reduced exposure to radiation, higher image quality, and eliminating our team’s exposure to hazardous chemicals and fumes involved in developing traditional x-rays.
