INTRODUCTION:
Computed Radiography (CR) is a
digital imaging technique that
replaces traditional film-based X-
ray systems.
Uses photostimulable phosphor
(PSP) plates to store and process
images.
Converts X-ray exposure into
digital images for enhanced
diagnosis.
Bridges the gap between
conventional film radiography and
Digital Radiography (DR).
