The method is similar to conventional radiography, but images are not captured on film. Instead, images are captured using either flat panel detectors or phosphor-coated imaging plates. Digital radiography has several important benefits as images can be enhanced and magnified for viewing and interpretation of findings.
Inspectors can provide you with instant reporting and digital images allowing for easy data sharing. Images can be emailed so that work can continue across times zones or sent to off-site experts for simultaneous evaluation. In addition, digital images can be archived electronically so they are easier to store, trace and view. Because there are no radiographic films to store, digital radiography can also save on the physical storage space that would normally be required for conventional film.
