Computed Radiography (CR) uses very similar
equipment to conventional radiography except that in place of a film to
create the image, an imaging plate is used.
Hence, instead of taking a film into a darkroom for developing in chemical
trays, the imaging plate is run through a computer scanner to read and digitize
the image. The image can then be viewed and enhanced using software that has
functions very similar to conventional image-processing software, such as contrast,
brightness, and zoom.
