"What does a DR exam mean?" This is what many people wonder about a new term in medical examinations.DR is digitalized X-ray imaging, also known as digital flat panel X-ray, is a new type of imaging technology. Compared with traditional X-rays, DR examination can realize the functions of image digitization, storage and analysis, and also can greatly reduce the radiation dose to ensure the health and safety of patients. Therefore, DR examination is widely used in modern medical examination, which is a good medical progress.
Radiation is one of people's greatest concerns. However, most imaging examinations involve some dose of radiation. Traditional X-ray film examination and CT examination are among the examination methods with high radiation dose. A DR examination, on the other hand, allows the patient to have a lower radiation dose because it requires less radiation compared to traditional X-rays. The patient's body is also better able to tolerate this type of examination, cutting down on the discomfort and risk associated with enduring the radiation dose.
The amount of radiation is a topic of concern for many people, especially those who have to undergo a large number of radiological examinations such as X-rays and CTs every year.DR examinations require less radiation dose compared to other radiological examinations, which can effectively alleviate the patients' concerns, while DR examinations have higher clarity and resolution, allowing for the detection of smaller lesions and abnormalities. Therefore, DR examination has been increasingly emphasized and applied in modern medical examination, and is a safe, fast and accurate medical examination.
