Dr. McCarthy's office uses the latest in x-ray technology, known as digital radiography, which ensures his patients receive the best in care, while reducing their radiation exposure by up to 90%. This hi-tech procedure reduces a patient's exposure by rapidly scanning the mouth and producing an image on a computer monitor for viewing in just minutes.
There are many benefits of digital radiography over conventional film and film processing methods. These benefits include instant viewing capability and the ability to easily enlarge images for detailed clarification. In addition, dentists can transmit these images to other dental specialists to provide them with a visual "snapshot" of a patient's oral history.
