Digital Radiography

What IS DR?
A step into the future.
DR stands for Direct Radiography. Many people mistakenly think that DR stands for digital radiography -- which leads to a lot of confusion in
the market. In digital radiography, there is CR (computed radiography - not addressed here) and DR (direct radiography.) Within DR, there are
currently two acceptable product types: CCD-DR and Flat Panel DR.
Flat panel DR is either amorphous silicon or amorphous selenium based plates. Most systems use the silicon variety. In the latter variety, a
phosphor is exposed to x-ray and the phosphor is excited by the radiation and emits light. The light is converted to a digital signal in much the
same fashion (but backwards) that your high-definition television takes a digital signal and emits light. The resultant image is then read and
processed. Generally, this process is very fast. Native resolution is usually low, so some post processing is needed to display good images. The
results from some panels can vary. In most cases, the lower the cost of the panel, the lower the quality of the image.
One advantage of flat DR systems is that because they are flat plates, they can be made portable. So, if your practice includes large animals,
you might consider going to flat panel DR. There are several serious disadvantages to flat panel DR. First, the imaging plate is made from a
glass substrate that can crack. Radiation makes glass brittle, so the likelihood of the panel having a catastrophic failure due to glass breaking is
very high. Repair costs are enormous, making costly repair contracts absolutely necessary. Second, when exposed to radiation, metals oxidize.
Eventually, some connections will fail causing unrepairable defects that appear as lines through images. Unlike CCD DR systems, because of
the nature of the flat DR product, the connections cannot be protected from radiation, so radiation-induced failure is expected from five to seven
years after first use, further increasing the need for expensive service contracts.
CCD DR is pretty simple in construction. All CCD systems work in similar ways. First, a phosphor is exposed to x-ray and is excited by the
radiation. The excited phosphor emits light. As the light is emitted, a CCD chip captures the light. CCD sounds fancy, but it really isn’t. Think
of this capture process as the same thing as capturing an image of your car. There is light reflecting off of your car (thus we see it - with no
light reflected, the car would be invisible) and you capture the reflecting light using your digital camera. All CCD DR systems do just that. The
methods and chips used differ greatly, but they all accomplish the task of capturing light in the same fashion.
A CCD system is comprised of five main components: a phosphor, mirror, lens, and a chip (camera). The fifth, most overlooked component and
possibly most important component is processing software. Raw CCD images are only moderately diagnostic because of the extreme low level
of light being captured and all require very good math to properly process good images.
One advantage of CCD DR is that they can often be slightly to significantly less expensive than their flat DR counter-parts. CCD chips have
been in use in the scientific arena since the dawn of the space-age. This mature technology, along with some recent breakthroughs in chip
manufacturing, means that they can be and are produced very inexpensively.
There are several systems on the market that use cooling methods to cool the chips and several that do not. One recurring question we are asked:
“Is cooling better than uncooled?” Vendors who manufacture uncooled systems will tell you that cooling systems add complication for no great
benefit, and they can break more easily. Certain chips do require cooling and certain chips do not. One is not necessarily better than the other.
So, what do the images look like and is the exposure reasonable? If the images satisfy you and the exposure is acceptable, then dismiss any
construction issues and worry about what really matters: software and support.
Several years ago, CCD systems produced fuzzy images that were mostly diagnostic, but left you with much information to ignore while reading
films. Today, the hardware and software technology, including patented algorithms, has evolved so rapidly that now CCD systems are generally
as good as, if not better than their flat DR counterparts.
Cautionary conclusion: there are good manufacturers and bad manufacturers of both types of DR. Some flat panel produce very good images, but
the after-sale support is horrible. Some CCD systems are as cheap as $30,000 but produce bad images. Don’t go cheap. If you are choosing flat
panel, get the more expensive one. If you are choosing CCD, don’t get the cheapest one. Use your intuition. So, when deciding on a digital x-ray
system, get images, talk to users, get a hands on demonstration, and don’t over spend. Most importantly, feel comfortable with the vendor and/or
dealer with whom you will be married to for many years to come.

Simon Backup

Simon Backup
Peace of Mind comes with simple, secure, and reliable data protection.
SimonBackup’s interface is designed to be just what you need:
Backups made simple.
Fact: All computers crash and all hard drives fail.
Fact: Most people are now storing their digital pictures, videos, and
email only on their computers. The one thing that most people who’s
houses burn down say: “I just wish I had my pictures.”
Fact: Most small businesses fail to properly backup their data leading
to the second most common cause of business failure: irretreivable data.
Fact: Unbelievably, and illegally, most small doctors offices, clinics, and
veterinary hospitals lack the sophistication to properly backup their data
(your health records), so they don’t.
Seed Loading....
Seed loading will speed the initial upload and make
your setup a lot easier. When you opt for seed loading,
SimonBackup sends a blank 300gb USB hard drive to you via
FED-EX. You use the “Seed-Load Utility” that comes with
SimonBackup and make your initial backup on the seed-load
hard drive. Using an included pre-paid FED-EX box, you send
the seed load harddrive to SimonBackup where we transfer
your data (encrypted) to our server.
The next scheduled backup will run very
quickly, reliably, and without taxing your
internet connection for days.
Seed loading includes return postage and
three months of backup service.
Fact: One extra copy of your data on-site is great, but does nothing
to protect you from fire, theft, vandalism, flood, or other disaster.
Fact: Most backup providers are new to business. Simonbackup.com is
operated within a 50+ year old group of companies.
Fact: Trying to backup your data online has been a giant pain.
SimonBackup.com has made online backups a lot easier. For details visit
www.simonbackup.com
Automation is key to making things simple.
You set the schedule. Online backups can be done hourly, daily,
weekly, or monthly.
Backup only the information you want.
Backup information in most cases with a single click. Backup your
home or business computer, laptop, and/or your local network
drive. Restore files whenever you want on your own schedule at no
additional cost.
Security.
Built-in using military-grade AES or Blowfish encryption using a
password you supply. Nobody at Simonbackup or anywhere inbetween
will be able to see your data. Further, your data will be colocated
(meaning in duplicate) at two of our secure facilities many,
many miles apart.

Non-geeks: no worries!
Hassle-free personal setup is included with seed-loading. Setup
includes personal assistance setting up your first backup (if you need
it) via live remote control using English-speaking (or Spanish if you
prefer) technicians located here in the United States.
Simple Administration:
If there is ever a problem, SimonBackup sends you an email and tells
you. Whether it is a locked file, or your computer was off when a
backup was scheduled, you’ll know it. And not have to worry about it.
