Whiten mildly overexposed images Darken mildly underexposed images Cost saving as eliminates - Film - Processing supplies - Darkroom - Film jackets & Files Electronic distribution of images via Networks For diagnosis For consultation/second opinions Input into an electronic medical record 5
6 DISADVANTAGES Need to be a skilled computer user Need computer support personnel All systems more expensive than film/screen cassettes and an automatic processor Image detail less than good quality radiographs X-Ray exposure level effects Image detail Exposure settings - those appropriate for > 400 speed FS and faster result in suboptimal CR image detail - Exposure settings as used for 300 speed FS and higher exposures are optimal for CR imaging - Newer systems using double sided plates and other plate halides now allow exposure to be significantly reduced.
