Digital X-Ray 

Digital X-Ray Diagnostic x-ray technology was discovered in 1895 by a German physicist, Wilhelm Roentgen. His discovery precipitated one of the most important medical advancements in human history. X-rays lets physicians see straight through human tissue to examine bones, cavities and other soft tissue (lungs, blood vessels). In radiology today most imaging modalities are digital.  MR, CT, PET, and ultrasound, all offer high-resolution digital images that can be shared and distributed widely.   Digital X-Ray now allows Axcess to provide one of the most common types of basic imaging exams in digital format, making routine X-Ray more efficient and convenient for your Physicians. Axcess Diagnostics uses the Philips “Bucky” Digital Plain Film system. This allows us to perform general x-ray while capturing all of the clinical data on computers instead of film. Radiologists can now view the studies on a computer screen, giving them the ability to enhance images or change contrast for better diagnostic capabilities, and share them with other Physicians via the Axcess PACS system. The digital system also reduces patient exposure to excessive x-rays by cutting down on repeat exams because of poor film quality or patient movement.
