With this high tech digital technology, the images are produced instantly without toxic chemicals. The foot is placed in front of sensors that read and capture x-rays as they pass through the foot. The information is then transferred to a computer where a technician can magnify the image for higher resolution and quality.  This technology not only captures more accurate digital pictures, but the sensors and exposure that transfer digital data are more sensitive than regular film, so it does not require as much radiation for a clear photo. The resulting images can also be viewed quicker with more resolution and clarity.
