Digital X-ray photography and Digital fluroscopy

 External Beam Radiotherapy can be considered to the digital radiology as the major technological advance in systems of images of medical use of last decade. In a few years the photographic movie for X-rays might fall down completely in disuse. An analogy appropriate and easy to deal is the substitution of the traditional cameras for the digital chambers. They can obtain, erase, to modify the images and it is possible to send them later to a network of computers.

The benefits that the digital radiology contributes are enormous. By means of this technology it is possible to come to do completely without the movies in the facilities or radiological departments. The doctor who prescribed the examination can see in his personal computer or in his portable one the image that it requested, and even issue a report a few minutes after the exploration having been realized. The images already do not guard in the only place, but several doctors placed to kilometres of distance can see them simultaneously. In addition, the patient can take the images of X-rays to him on a compact disk to put them at the disposal of other medical or other hospitals.
