Digital Low-Dose X-Rays

What Are Digital Low-Dose X-Rays?

Digital X-rays use sensors connected to a computer rather than capturing the image on film as was done in the past. They are comparable to how we have digital cameras on our phones compared to the film-based cameras of the past.

This imaging system can detect cavities, cracks, and infections so you can get necessary treatment as soon as you need it.

Digital X-Rays vs. Traditional X-Rays

Even though the idea of radiation might make you nervous, with adequate lead apron and neck protection, traditional film x-rays have been considered relatively safe for decades. But as the world is always looking to advance, advances in digital x-ray technology did keep up with the times.  Current digital sensor technology has improved so much that it allowed a decrease of up to 80-90% radiation exposure needed to create a digital image compared to the traditional film image.

Digital X-rays are also much more convenient since they don’t require the use of non-ecofriendly photographic film or harmful chemicals. The digital images are instantly available to view on a computer screen in high-definition quality. There’s no need to worry about transporting physical copies as they can be accessed on any device through the internet or external hard drive storage.
