One of the most recent innovations in the world of radiology is the computer radiography system, also known as a CR system. It is basically a unit that is used for digital medical imaging. Further, just like the prices of all radiology equipment and similar computer related devices has dropped recently, so have CR systems, making them all the more affordable for smaller clinics and similar medical setups. Another reason why CR systems are such a hit with clinics is that their current radiology equipment can be retrofitted with the new equipment. This means that a clinic can start on a relatively smaller budget, and add on equipment as and when it has sufficient funds. In case you are also looking for a medical imaging option that is also portable, there are certain CR systems that cater to that needs as well. These give the medical personnel the provision of capturing images of patients that are unable to visit the clinic, since the device can now be carried to their premises for any kind of checkup. Further, if the CR system is also having internet connectivity via a laptop, one can also send the images from the patient's home to the clinic for an on-the-spot diagnosis. This practice is not only convenient for the patient, but also saves a lot of valuable time, particularly in case the patient's condition is critical. For imaging, this radiology equipment uses phosphor screens and plate readers; the image is first captured on the plate and then converted into the digital format, so that it can be enhanced for a better view. Further, if there is a PACS system installed in the clinic, these images can also be archived as well as set up for recovery in case of any problem in the server. So as you can see, not only has technology given us numerous means to treat patients, but is now also available at a much affordable rate with better options than ever before.
