What is a CR system?

A CR system consists of an image reader/digitizer, cassettes containing imaging receptors (photostimulable-phosphor plates), a computer console or workstation, software, monitors, and a printer. Imaging plates are inserted in a radiographic table’s cassette holder and images are acquired using the x-ray system.

Which is better CR or DR?

DR offers superior throughput compared to CR because it embeds the imaging processing cycle in the acquisition task: images can appear as quickly as five seconds. CR involves more steps because cassette processing takes longer.

What is DR and CR system?

Digital Radiography (DR) is the latest advancement in Radiography. DR technology quickly transfers images to the computer so you can view and diagnose without wait time. Computed Radiology (CR) is the digital replacement of X-ray film radiography. CR radiography uses phosphor image plates to create a digital image.
