Generally, while getting an x-ray, the patient will be requested to place the body that requires screening on the machine, as x-rays travel through your body and an image of your organs and body structure gets transferred to film.
But since digital x-ray can provide better quality images with more depth and allows for the practitioner to control and process the images in real time, it makes it possible for your doctor to examine your body and condition more deeply. It can make it easy for your doctor to find tiny fractures or imperfections in teeth.
