Background:

  • Computed radiography (CR) using storage phosphors has been a mainstay in diagnostic imaging for two decades.
  • Flat-panel digital radiography (DR) systems offer advancements in workflow and image quality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current state of CR technology.
  • To explore new CR developments and their potential clinical impact.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing CR technology.
  • Exploration of new CR screen technologies (e.g., structured/needle screens).
  • Analysis of new scanner concepts (e.g., line-at-a-time reading).

Main Results:

  • New CR developments promise image quality comparable to flat-panel systems.
  • Innovations aim to improve system throughput and reduce physical size.
  • These advancements are expected at a cost comparable to current systems.

Conclusions:

  • CR will continue to play an important role in diagnostic radiology.
  • Innovations in CR offer significant improvements in performance and cost-effectiveness.
  • New CR technologies present a viable alternative to flat-panel systems.
