Computed radiography (CR) provided the world of radiography with an intermediate step between film/screen radiography and direct digital (DR) imaging systems. Many imaging departments will have both technologies... even in the same room. This page considers anecdotal evidence regarding the image quality differences between CR and DR imaging- is the difference clinically significant?
Case 1
CommentWhere there are both bucky DR and cassette CR systems available, the radiographer must make a balanced judgement as to which system is most appropriate given all of the circumstances of the case. The DR system is more likely to produce images which demonstrate all fractures clearly. Beware satisfaction syndrome.
