Study Notes
Digital Radiography System Components
- A digital radiography system uses a digital image receptor, image processing unit, image management system, storage devices, a patient information system interface, communication network, and a display device.
Digital Receptor
- The digital receptor intercepts the x-ray beam after it passes through the patient.
- It produces a digital image, specifically a matrix of pixels, each with a numerical value.
- This digital receptor replaces the cassette containing intensifying screens and film used in traditional film-screen radiography.
- There are several different types of digital radiography receptors.
