How does an X-ray image intensifier compare to digital radiography in terms of image acquisition time?

X-ray image intensifiers and digital radiography represent distinct technologies with differing image acquisition processes. X-ray image intensifiers use an analog method where X-rays pass through the patient and strike a fluorescent screen, producing a visible light image. This image is then intensified before being captured by a camera. The process involves multiple steps and may take several seconds for the overall acquisition.

On the other hand, digital radiography directly converts X-rays into digital signals. In digital radiography, the X-ray detector captures the image, and the data is rapidly processed to generate a digital image almost instantly. Digital radiography, therefore, typically offers a quicker image acquisition time compared to X-ray image intensifiers, leading to faster diagnostic workflows and reduced patient exposure to radiation. The efficiency and speed of digital radiography contribute to its widespread adoption in modern medical imaging practices. Whatsapp:+86 18953679166. Email: service@newheek.com
