Digital radiography is a form of X-ray imaging, where digital X-ray sensors are used instead of traditional photographic film.

Advantages include time efficiency and the ability to digitally transfer and enhance images.Also, less radiation can be used to produce an image of similar contrast to conventional radiography.

Also radiographic images can be stored on a computer so full screen images that can be enhanced and zoomed in on, aiding diagnostics and providing easier patient communication, as well as allowing dental offices to communicate images electronically.
