What is computed radiography (CR)?
A technology that uses an imaging plate
What are the similarities between computed radiography (CR) and digital radiography (DR)?
Both produce a digital image
How does computed radiography (CR) differ from digital radiography (DR) in terms of image capture?
CR uses a cassette, while DR captures the image directly onto a detector
