Our Technology
Dexis Digital Radiograph
We use a digital sensor for taking radiographs rather than an x-ray film. This is much like using a digital camera versus an old fashioned film camera. With this technology there are no more toxic chemicals or film and their attendant waste in the office which allows us to be more environmentally friendly. Images are available instantly on a large computer monitor for Dr. Scharf and the patient to view. Because these are digital images, they can be shared with colleagues digitally without the usual degradation in quality when film based x-rays are duplicated.
For our patients, digital radiographs mean reduced exposure to radiation (up to 90% less than some film based systems), less waiting time, shorter appointments, and a better understanding of their condition and possible treatments.
