computed radiography

Computed radiography (CR) is a digital imaging technology used in medical settings to capture X-ray images. Instead of traditional film, CR uses special plates that store the X-ray information. After exposure, these plates are scanned by a computer, which converts the data into digital images. This digital format allows for enhanced image quality, easier storage, and straightforward sharing with healthcare professionals. CR improves efficiency in diagnosing health conditions while reducing the need for film processing, making it a more environmentally friendly option in medical imaging.
