How is it superior to conventional x-ray images?
X-ray images will have two important qualities – resolution and contrast, which are important for diagnosis. Resolution is the clarity, which determines visualisation of minute details. Contrast is the appearance of different structures which further adds to resolve minute details. The resolution and contrast of CR is much superior to that of conventional x-ray films. In addition these can be manipulated on the computer (post processing) to further improve them.
