What is Digital Radiography?
Digital radiography or digital x-rays is the modern way of taking and examining x-rays of the bones in your foot and ankle. An x-ray is taken of the areas to be examined and transferred to a computer which converts the images into digital, or computerized x-ray pictures, which can then be enlarged, rotated, flipped-over, printed, e-mailed, or placed on a disk. Digital radiography has greatly enhanced our ability to diagnose small bone spurs and fractures that would usually go unrecognized with the older version of x-rays.
