  • This video was posted in 2008... give em' a little break. It would be nice to see an updated version though.

  • Medical radiography could be improved by using geometric enlargement. With a truly sensitive receptor, a microfocus source can be used with the subject placed in the middle of the focus-receptor distance. This reduces the effective receptor pixel size to one half it's actual. You could completely fill a 14X17" receptor with one breast using a microfocus tube. The old rotating anode tubes need to be scrapped. These are the resolution limiting devices. Geometric magnification can't use them.

  • Digital detectors do provide significantly lower resolution than film, but the resolution is often limited by the focal spot size in the x-ray tube anyway. However, it is the reason why digital hasn't yet taken off for breast screening (at least in the UK) because it can't pick up very small micro-calcifications.

    Digital is slightly faster than computed radiography (CR), and much faster to process than film, although this doesn't necessary translate into faster throughput.

  • @djbro16 We now have 2 digital mobile units,the imaging receptors are 125k,cross my fingers each time I use......=)

  • Now they have wireless DR cassettes,.. 80K a pop DONT DROP IT haha!

  • Digital X-ray has much better resolution, much larger gray scale, far better sharpness and contrast than film. The digital image can be processed easily on a PC. It is not slow at all when compared to film processing. The best feature however is the much lower radiation dose required to get a good image i.e. a patient at risk can go to more screenings than with film. I would not compare the two technologies, one is in the past and the other one is the future.

  • digital x-ray is lower spatial resolution than old fashion x-ray film. Also I have used the equipment in the news clip, it is not faster and it consistently gives technical difficulties.

  • yeh talking about an eagle eye. pelvis is at the top. haha

  • hahah wow yea ur right hahah the ribs are at the bottom

  • The xray is upsidedown in the begining when he's doing the intro. lol
