Digital Capture
Digital detectors convert radiation into electronic signals. These signals form the basis of medical images. Their sensitivity influences image quality.
Image Storage
Images are stored in secure digital systems. These systems allow quick retrieval and sharing across departments. Efficient storage supports coordinated care.
Display Technology
High resolution monitors help clinicians interpret images accurately. Calibration ensures consistent brightness and contrast. Proper display settings reduce diagnostic errors.
System Integration
Digital systems integrate with hospital networks. This integration streamlines workflow and improves communication. Students must understand how these systems function.
