X-rays are an important part of diagnosing and properly treating our patients. For years this has been done with traditional machines that require rooms for developing physical prints and could take days or weeks to turn around. Sophisticated digital radiography machines have been available to large medical centers, but only recently have they become affordable enough for small practices to take advantage of.
Digital x-ray systems take up less space and provide images that are easily stored and available within seconds. Now, when your x-ray is taken, Dr. Wottrich is able to see the images and make the correct diagnosis within just minutes. This has allowed us to take x-rays whenever they are needed to better illustrate our patients’ needs. Digital images are easily archived in our computer systems to monitor changes in your alignment and continue to treat you in the best way possible.
Improving Diagnostic Accuracy
Digital images can be manipulated for better accuracy in ways that the older printed images could not be. This allows us to change the focus, magnify parts of the image and enhance the results with different densities or contrast levels to catch problems that might have been very difficult to catch on an old x-ray image. This allows us to subject our patients to fewer x-rays and less radiation exposure with better results in return.
