What Are Digital X-Rays vs. Traditional X-Rays?
Our board-certified physicians are experts in providing safe treatment for a variety of injuries, and x-rays are just one tool at a doctor’s disposal for diagnosing injuries. While traditional x-rays were created on photographic film, today’s x-rays are more sophisticated and captured on digital sensors rather than on film. This saves precious time and resources, allowing quicker diagnosis and treatment of the patient.
X-rays, particularly digital x-rays, are useful in providing your doctor a clear view of the dense material inside the body, particularly your bones. Other imaging tests may prove useful for less dense areas of the body, such as the joints, muscles, or tendons.
