  • Medical Imaging Technology

Background:

  • Digital imaging is standard in many medical fields, but conventional radiography lags.
  • No single digital radiography method has yet replaced traditional screen-film imaging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current status and principles of digital radiography.
  • To compare four promising digital radiographic techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Review of film digitization.
  • Review of image intensifier-based systems.
  • Review of photostimulable phosphor plates.
  • Review of scanned projection systems.

Main Results:

  • Each of the four techniques has distinct physical aspects, clinical results, advantages, and disadvantages.
