General Information
Digital (or computerized) imaging techniques came to x-ray in the 1980s when analog to digital (A/D) converters and computers were also adapted to conventional fluoroscopic image intensifier/TV systems. "Digital imaging" has lead to a similar improvement and renaissance in x-ray. Digital x-rays often look sharper and cleaner than the analog version. Many of the fluoroscopic ("fluoro" for short) x-ray procedures described herein have benefited greatly from the addition of digital technology. Further, angiographic procedures for looking at the blood vessels in the brain, kidneys, arms and legs, and the blood vessels of the heart all have benefited tremendously from the adaptation of digital technology. Over the last few years, as manufacturers and researchers around the world have taken digital x-ray detectors out of the lab and into clinical trials, it’s become clear that digital x-ray imaging will indeed revolutionize diagnostic radiology. In fact, many observers have hailed it as the most significant breakthrough in x-ray imaging in the last 25 years, referring to it as "the New Modality." South Delhi's first Digital X-Ray installation at Focus Imaginghave proved our motive to stay ahead and meet the medical community’s strictest performance criteria for: Outstanding image quality and dose efficiency. High reliability. Adaptability to future advanced applications. Processing image data to highlight regions of interest and suppress irrelevant information, thereby improving the diagnostic utility of virtually any study. Combining image data with other pertinent patient information available from RIS/HIS systems. Quickly transmitting the resulting files anywhere over the networking connections of your choice, by our dedicated and specialized teleradiology network. Archiving all this information in the CD-Media with minimal space, and retrieving perfect originals at the touch of a few keys.
Benefits of digital technology to all x-ray systems include
	Lower dosage x-rays can often be used to achieve the same high quality picture as with film
	Digital x-ray images can be enhanced and manipulated with computers and sent via a network to other workstations and computer monitors so that many people can share the information and assist in the diagnosis.
	Digital images can be archived onto compact optical disks or digital tape drives saving tremendously on storage space and manpower needed for a traditional x-ray film library
	Digital images may be retrieved from an electronic archive for future reference
	Some modalities like mammography require extremely high resolution film to show the small breast cancers and calcifications. Digital detectors capable of a similarly high resolution are under development and will hopefully be available in the future. However, digital imaging is already being used in parallel to high resolution film in breast imaging and breast biopsy systems.
