It makes a softcopy (digital) reading of images possible, as opposed to hardcopy (film) reading. Softcopy reading makes it possible to enhance images. In addition, images are available for viewing at multiple stations at the same time. Once the images are in digital format, the brightness and contrast levels may be adjusted, and image magnification is possible. This allows your doctor to see more than they could on a standard X-ray, MRI, CT scan, Ultrasound or Mammogram.
