Is Computed Radiography Digital?

Computed Radiology (CR) is the digital replacement of X-ray film radiography. CR radiography uses phosphor image plates to create a digital image. Although it is an older technology, it is still digital technology and is more cost effective.

Is computed radiography digital or analog?

Computed Radiography is a mechanical system, using analog technology to take X-ray exposures with CR cassettes in place of traditional film cassettes. The CR system can then scan the image into a digital format. In other words, it's somewhat of an intermediary step between old school analog and the digital world.

Is CT digital radiography?

Digital radiography also encompasses Computed Tomography (CT), which compiles multiple digital images to produce 3D images. Even though CT scanning has been a mainstay of medical imaging for over 40 years, it is still a relatively new application in industrial non-destructive testing.
