Abstract

Wilhelm Roentgen first discovered X-rays in 1895. Since its introduction in the mid-1980s, digital radiography has surpassed traditional screen-film radiography. Since 2000, more than 75 percent of medical clinics in the United States have migrated to digital radiography (DR). In fact, the US government has ordered that all medical records be converted to digital. Indirect, direct, or semi-direct digital radiography pictures are types of digital radiography currently available. Forensic radiology is a branch of medical imaging technology that helps clinicians. Radiology technology has evolved and grown tremendously in recent years. When comparing aggregated antemortem and postmortem information, radiographs are crucial. Adopting new technologies into a dental business demands a certain amount of bravery. After all, why alter things if your practise is running smoothly? To grasp the new equipment and procedures, the dentist and his or her staff will need further training. It's not always apparent how the new strategy will influence the practice's present logistics. These factors may cause the practitioner to be hesitant to alter present techniques. In this article we’ll reviewing digital dental radiography, and what are the advantages of going digital. And also what are the challenges that face us.

Highlights

Since 2000, more than 75 percent of medical clinics in the United States have migrated to digital radiography (DR)
Digital Radiographic Systems: Physics and Technology Indirect digital radiographs are typical film "analogue" radiographs that have been digitised using either a flatbed or slide scanner or a high-resolution digital camera. This method necessitates the exposure of an analogue film first, it is a cost-effective approach to experience some of the benefits of digital radiography
Non-radiographic dental records have been found to be a helpful source because the many permutations and combinations of missing and filled tooth patterns may allow identification to be done with some certainty

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Since 2000, more than 75 percent of medical clinics in the United States have migrated to digital radiography (DR). A minority of dental offices in the United States and worldwide have migrated to digital radiography or other digital methods, according to numerous recent dental studies According to these reports, the adoption of this technology in dentistry appears to be dependent on speciality (general dentists are more likely to utilise it), location (big population centres versus small cities), and cost [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]. Digital Radiographic Systems: Physics and Technology Indirect digital radiographs are typical film "analogue" radiographs that have been digitised using either a flatbed or slide scanner or a high-resolution digital camera This method necessitates the exposure of an analogue film first, it is a cost-effective approach to experience some of the benefits of digital radiography (such as archiving and telemedicine). On the other hand, are likely to be sufficient for the identification of many dental anomalies [11]
