Digital Radiography Recommended for Small-Bowel Exams
It has been found by a group of researchers that digital radiography is a recommended method of imaging for the use of certain exams that previously had not been recognized in conjunction with this technology before.
"While the benefits of DR have been well-documented in areas such as chest imaging and skeletal radiography, fewer studies exist on its use for small-bowel follow-through (SBFT) exams." (source)
The researchers who determined this found that analog film screen x-rays are what is most commonly used for this type of imaging but that digital radiography is actually capable of providing better results with more efficiency.
