Energy Conservation Through Digital Radiography

Switching to digital radiography uses less energy than previous methods, and is also more effective. The amount of energy used to transmit digital radio waves is so much less than analogue, which makes it friendlier to the environment. As an added bonus, you aren’t exposed to high levels of radiation. These digital x-rays emit 90 percent less radiation.

Digital radiography also eliminates the use of film, development chemicals, and lead foil papers – materials, which are harmful to the environment. Digital radiography also completely eliminates the propagation of toxic chemicals and heavy metals (lead and silver) that could enter and contaminate our water.
