Abstract

Digital technologies will eventually supersede film–screen radiography and image intensifier-based fluoroscopy.Software developments deliver advanced applications in digital imaging, including dual energy subtraction imaging, tomosynthesis, computer aided detection (CAD) and 3D volumetric imaging.Improved clinical detail is demonstrated in chest imaging, mammography and neuroimaging, amongst others.Clinical images are readily available and can be transferred to diverse locations via PACS (Picture Archive and Communication System) or a teleradiology system for remote diagnosis.The time commitment required for training in the use of the digital imaging equipment, workstations and extra routine quality assurance (e.g. as required for image display monitors) is a concern in the busy hospital imaging department.
