Now there is no need to replace your old radiology equipment

As you all know that with the advent of technology old equipments become useless after the introduction of new one. It is completely different with radiology equipment, as there are many software upgrades that can keep one up to speed with the latest advancements without having to spend additional funds on hardware. Moreover since there are many restrictions regarding budget of organizations so they can easily avail the advantage of these software without spending much on purchasing new equipment. There are various diagnostic centers which are equipped with the advanced equipments to detect the symptoms of dangerous diseases.

If a radiologist wants to continue with his old radiology equipment then he should combine it with the computed radiography (CR) technology. You are required to put CR as a connecting medium between older radiography versions and the latest updated ones; the hardware used is almost similar but the conventional film that was used to capture images is changed with an imaging plate. Ingredient of this imaging plate is photostimulatable phosphor, which is a chemical that responds to X-rays. It is the plate which is enclosed inside a cassette, and placed over or under the area of the body that is to be examined as X-rays pass through the same. This technique is useful in case of X-rays, scanning etc.
