What is a digital X-ray and how is it different from a traditional X-ray?

A digital X-ray is a modern form of radiography that uses digital sensors instead of traditional photographic film to capture images of the body. It provides clear, high-resolution images almost instantly on a computer screen, allowing doctors to quickly diagnose conditions such as fractures, infections, and abnormalities in soft tissues and bones. Unlike traditional X-rays, which require film development and longer processing times, digital X-rays are faster, more efficient, and expose patients to less radiation. They also offer the convenience of image enhancement, storage, and easy sharing with specialists, which significantly improves diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning.
