Digital Radiography

Digital radiography is a form of x-ray imaging where digital x-ray sensors are used instead of traditional photographic film. Advantages include time efficiency through bypassing chemical processing and the ability to digitally transfer and enhance images. Also, less radiation can be used to produce an image of similar contrast to conventional radiography.

Digital Radiography (DR) or (DX) is essentially filmless x-ray image capture. In place of x-ray film, a digital image capture device is used to record the x-ray image and make it available as a digital file that can be presented for interpretation and saved as part of the patient’s medical record. The advantages of DR over film include immediate image preview and availability, a wider dynamic range which makes it more forgiving for over- and under-exposure as well as the ability to apply special image processing techniques that enhance the overall display of the image. 

At Twisted Spine & Joint we may need to refer you for digital x-rays, or advanced imaging (MRI, CT) to help us determine the cause of your pain. If we see something that is questionable during your examination, we will refer you for digital x-rays or an MRI/CT, and if necessary we will refer you out for a second opinion by an orthopedist.
