Toshiba DR, dual detector

Digital X-ray (DR)

Digital radiography captures the image electronically rather than on film, which means a lower dose, no chemical processing, and an image the radiologist can adjust rather than repeat. This is the machine behind the chest film on the pre-employment and visa panels.
