DR vs. CR
 

Click here to compare.
  • DR has greater sensitivity than CR. Meaning lower levels of radiation. On an identical exam, a CR radiation dosage is four times greater than DR.
  • DR is more efficient and significantly faster than CR. DR allows a higher throughput of patients each day.
  • DR has better performance in resolution and image quality than CR.
  • DR transfers the X-ray directly to a digital signal. CR gets the X-ray image transferred to the plate, and from the plate, to the reader.
  • A DR image is dynamic. A CR image by definition is very much like a static film image. (Although you can manipulate the image in CR, you will face limitations on how CR data is used with advanced applications).
  • CR is old technology. DR is new technology.
  • CR cost has been an advantage over DR in the past. However, today Medicatech USA makes advanced DR technology very affordable while providing less radiation, greater work-flow capacity, higher resolution, and wider dynamic range when compared to CR.
