question 2 of 20
what are three advantages of digital x - rays over film x - rays?
a. they produce less waste.
b. they work on soft tissues.
c. they are faster.
d. they provide better contrast.

Explanation:

• Option A: Digital X - rays don't use film (which requires developing chemicals and film disposal), so they produce less waste.
• Option B: X - rays (both digital and film) are mainly for imaging bones and dense structures, not soft tissues (soft tissues are better imaged with other modalities like MRI), so B is incorrect.
• Option C: Digital X - rays don't need film development, so the process is faster as images are available immediately.
• Option D: Digital X - rays can be manipulated to adjust contrast, providing better contrast than traditional film X - rays.

Answer:

A. They produce less waste, C. They are faster, D. They provide better contrast.
