"Sonography" is another term for ultrasound imaging — a medical diagnostic technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the inside of the body. It’s commonly used to visualize:
X-rays pass through the body and are captured by a digital detector.
Dense structures like bones appear white, while softer tissues appear in shades of gray or black.
The image is converted into a digital file and displayed on a computer screen.
Faster results – Images are available instantly.
Lower radiation exposure - than traditional film X-rays.
Enhanced image quality – Zoom in, adjust contrast, or apply filters.
Easier storage & sharing – Files can be stored in electronic health records (EHR) or shared with specialists.
Environmentally friendly – No need for film or chemicals.
Computed Radiography (CR) : Uses a cassette-based system with digital sensors.
Direct Digital Radiography (DR) : Uses flat panel detectors and provides real-time imaging.
