Computerized Digital Radiography

Radiographs are a valuable diagnostic tool in a periodontal evaluation, but rather than use conventional film radiographs, we use a state-of-the-art technology called computerized digital radiography, or CDR. The CDR system provides a safer, cleaner, faster and more accurate method of obtaining radiographic images, while reducing radiation exposure up to 90% compared to conventional radiographs.

CDR imaging works in a similar fashion to conventional x-ray procedures in that an electronic sensor the same size as a film is used to collect the image, but the image is converted digitally into an image immediately on the computer screen, where the image can then be enlarged and enhanced.

Our office has the technology to transmit all CDR and imaging data directly to the patient’s doctor or other specialists via the Internet over secure connections to avoid delays in treatment.
