: Images consist of a matrix of small squares called pixels . Smaller pixels and larger matrices generally improve spatial resolution , allowing for finer detail.

Digital radiography (DR) has revolutionized medical imaging by replacing traditional film-based systems with digital sensors that provide immediate image acquisition and high-speed processing. Understanding its physical principles and maintaining strict quality control (QC) is essential for maximizing diagnostic quality while minimizing patient radiation dose.

QC programs ensure that equipment consistently adheres to performance standards and safety regulations. : Images consist of a matrix of small squares called pixels

: Uses a photostimulable phosphor plate within a cassette. X-rays create a "latent image" that is later scanned by a laser to release light, which is then digitized. X-rays create a "latent image" that is later

Digital imaging relies on the conversion of X-ray energy into electronic signals that can be processed by a computer. :
