In both digital radiography and conventional X-ray diagnostics, parts of the body are exposed to X-rays to make different tissues visible. The difference lies in how the images are displayed. With digital radiography, the images are captured electronically and displayed on a computer, whereas with conventional radiography, X-ray film must be developed. As a result, digital X-ray images are available immediately and can be optimized afterward in terms of brightness, contrast, or magnification. In addition, digital X-ray images can be easily saved and shared with treating physicians.
