It seems like we limit the health system and the only thing that went through to capture analog film or x-ray systems. Most existing systems are still analog and off with the film X-ray and / or analog video. While most mobile mammography are now produced with digital outputs, most of the current C-arm X-ray systems and systems R / F were not updated.

There are several reasons for the change must take place, but first and foremost, as always, is cost savings. Although the actual cost of the film is relatively inexpensive, the cost of a film processor, maintenance, replacement, chemicals, dark room service is not cheap. Then the cost of filing, storage, retrieval and / or film duplication costs further compounds.

Now, to deal in time and possibly new shoots, adding because of poor quality, The last factor is the time saved during the process itself, bringing the number of patients x-rayed in order to show the pictures in a period of time.

The tapes / discs are inserted into the Bucky table or chest, similar to inserting a film cassette. The plate is exposed to X-ray is taken and the cassette in the player / converter that reads the exposed plate and produces a digital image inserted. The plate is then erased and ready to be reused in the same procedure. The image is a work station which is available for viewing, transfer to a radiologist and / or transfer to a picture archiving and communication.
