Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Digital radiography specifically refers to the use of special electronic detectors and computer processing to generate images, as opposed to traditional X-ray film. While filmless imaging is a related term, it is not specific to the use of electronic detectors and may apply to other types of imaging, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scans. Film-screen radiography is the traditional method of X-ray imaging using a combination of X-ray film and a screen to capture and enhance the image, while digital mammography refers specifically to the use of digital technology for breast imaging.
