Sensors are less comfortable than film.The size of the digitized image makes it attractive as a patient education tool;there is an opportunity for an increase in interactive dialogue between the patient and the radiographer,and the use of visualization can increase the patient's understanding of the disease process.In addition,the size of the digitized image on the 15-inch or 17-inch computer screen (compared with a 2-inch piece of film)makes it attractive as a patient education tool.Digital imaging has a lower resolution than film.Because the original digital image can be enhanced,it is questionable whether digital images can be used as evidence in lawsuits.
