Clinical practice of computed radiography / 医学研究生学报

ABSTRACT

Computed radiography(CR) is a relatively new concept. The main advantage is the significant reduction of defect of radiography. It provides a more complete anatomic definition and display images to assist the radiologist. The technique can improve target definition and characterization. Such systems allow projection radiology to have the advantages of other digital techniques, including electronic storage, electronic retrieval, transmission over digital networks, and digital image processing. The CR technique, when implemented for multiple room use, can be an economical way to implement digital radiography on a large scale. This represents a potential advantage of CR. We believe that use of CR may be a practical and valuable tool for improving imaging quality where financial resources are limited, and CR is likely to supplant screen-film radiography at many medical imaging centers over the next decade.
