Digital radiography is a form of radiography that uses x-ray–sensitive plates to directly capture data during the patient examination, immediately transferring it to a computer system without the use of an intermediate cassette. Advantages include time efficiency through bypassing chemical processing and the ability to digitally transfer and enhance images. Also, less radiation can be used to produce an image of similar contrast to conventional radiography.

Below is advantage:

1. Reduce the intensity of X-ray to 20%-30%, increase the x-ray ability 60%.
2. The high contrast of the digital images facilitates the radiological diagnosis by the radiologist or the person in charge of performing it.
3. It allows the sending of the obtained results and the images in archives via Internet with amazing rapidity, which could reach to establish the difference between the life and the death of a patient.It facilitates the interconsultation between professionals.Optimizes communication with the patient.
