The Digital Radiography System
In this and other modules, each of these components will be considered and
detail. At this time we will briefly introduce the various components.
2).The digital receptor is the device that intercepts the x-ray beam after it has
passed through the patients body and produces an image in digital form, that is,
a matrix of pixels, each with a numerical value.
This replaces the cassette containing intensifying screens and film that is used
in non-digital, film-screen radiography.
As we will soon see, there are several different types of digital radiography
receptors.
The Image Management System
These functions consist of controlling the movement of the images among the
other components and associating other data and information with the images.
One of the major advantages of digital radiography is the ability to process the
images after they are recorded.
For digital radiographs the ability to change and optimize the contrast is of great
value.
The various processing methods are explored in much more detail in another
module.
Digital radiographs, and other digital medical images, are stored as digital data.
7).Communications Network
Another advantage of digital images is the ability to transfer them from one
location to another very rapidly.
One major advantage is the ability of the viewer to adjust and optimize image
characteristics such as contrast.
Other advantages include the ability to zoom, compare multiple images, and
The Nano-P CR features Konica Minolta's newest CS-2 intelligent control station software with auto-
recognition and self-learning capabilities. It is a simple to use CR system that automatically recognizes each
exam view and applies the processing algorithms appropriate for each image. You'll be able to generate high
quality diagnostic images with minimal training and fewer steps for
