digital x-ray
Computerized skeletal scan
A digital x-ray is a radiographic image captured electronically rather than on traditional film.
The technology allows instant viewing, easier storage, and simpler sharing of medical or dental images.
Digital x-rays typically require less radiation exposure than conventional film x-rays: The dentist took a digital x-ray of my molars.
