Question

what is the primary advantage of digital x-rays compared with traditional film x-rays?

a. they require less radiation to produce an image.

b. they take longer to develop than film x-rays.

c. they can be used only for bone imaging.

d. they cannot be enhanced for better contrast.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Digital X - rays typically require less radiation than traditional film X - rays to produce an image. This is a known advantage.
• Option B: Digital X - rays develop faster, not longer, than film X - rays, so this is incorrect.
• Option C: Both digital and film X - rays can be used for more than just bone imaging, so this is wrong.
• Option D: Digital X - rays can be enhanced for better contrast, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

A. They require less radiation to produce an image.
