Quality comparison: CR.(computed radiography )

From: Medical Imaging | Date: September 1, 2006| Author: | Copyright information

One of the mainstay technologies of the medical digital imaging digital transformation over the past 15 years has been computed radiography (CR). This technology has, for the most part, taken the place of wet chemistry-based film processors in the projection radiography workflow. With industry estimates of between 40% and 70% of all radiology imaging workload being performed through projection radiography, CR clearly is a serious contributor to the total volume of images being acquired, interpreted, and distributed for clinical purposes. This technology is not to be confused with ...
