Digital radiographs: will the future ever arrive?

View original source ↗Export metadata ↓

Abstract

The benefits of introducing digital technologies and specifically digital radiographs should be compelling and yet the widespread acceptance has been slow. A brief anecdotal look at two other industries suggests possible insight into the factors leading to the acceptance of digital radiography in the dental industry. Rather than to argue for a single digital radiography product, it is suggested that irrespective of the means of digital radiograph capture, there are pervasive benefits for the dental practitioner in using digital radiograph technology.

Wireless connectivity for health and sports monitoring: a review.

This is a review of health and sports monitoring research that uses or could benefit from wireless connectivity. New, enabling wireless connectivity standards are evaluated for their suitability, and an assessment of current exploitation of these technologies is summarised. An example of the application is given, highlighting the capabilities of a network of wireless sensors. Issues of timing and power consumption in a battery-powered system are addressed to highlight the benefits networking can provide, and a suggestion of how monitoring different biometric signals might allow one to gain additional information about an athlete or patient is made.
