Radiography involves passing X-rays through a subject to get an image which shows up hard tissues like bone and metal particularly well but can also image soft tissue to some extent. It is particularly useful for investigating bone related disease. Digital radiography involves using a computer plate rather than a film to pick up the X-rays that have passed through the subject, and, with computer enhancement of images, it allows excellent image quality to be obtained with low levels of X-ray exposure, thus reducing the X-ray radiation and the danger of secondary health problems to the subject and the operatives.
