Computed Radiography
Computed Radiography (CR) is a digital imaging technology used in medical settings to capture and store X-ray images. It utilizes special imaging plates that are coated with a photostimulable phosphor. When exposed to X-rays, these plates store the energy and later release it as light when stimulated by a laser, creating a digital image.
The digital images produced by Computed Radiography can be easily viewed, enhanced, and shared electronically, improving the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment. This technology offers advantages over traditional film radiography, such as reduced processing time and the ability to store images in a digital format for easy access and retrieval.
