Integrated digital radiography with a flat electronic detector

Nevertheless, in many of the institutions that have already introduced digital acquisition techniques, the working methods have remained essentially conventional. Cassettes are still used, although they now contain storage screens rather than screen-film combinations. The image is still assessed as a (laser) film on a lightbox. In fact, the complete working routine has not changed significantly with respect to the conventional procedures of the past. So far, only a few institutions have made the step to a completely filmless working procedure.
