in clinical practice but there is a need to implement and use appropriate methods to evaluate and optimize systems performance to ensure safety and quality when using digital technology.
The transition from screen–film to digital
technology should constitute a challenge for radiography healthcare providers, researchers, and other healthcare staffs. Findings from a study delivered by Nyathi suggest that there is need for formal education of health professionals concerning the use of new digital technologies.
The transition from traditional screen–film (SF)
systems to digital technology-based systems highlights the importance of discussing technical factors such as image acquisition, management of patient dose, and diagnostic image quality.
Digital radiology systems offer different
solutions, which changes the workflow while performing a radiographic examination.
A nonintegrated detector, such as a computed
radiography (CR) system, uses the traditional SF working paradigm, allowing the same patient positioning flexibility and the use of the existing infrastructure and radiographic equipment.
