Factors to consider in the transition to digital radiological imaging.
نویسنده
چکیده
The dentist considering adopting digital radiological technology should consider more than the type of detector with which to capture the image. He/she should also consider the mode of display, image enhancement, radiation dose reduction, how the image can be stored long term, and infection control.
