What does CR mean in medicine?

CR is a medical imaging diagnosis of diseases.

CR is the abbreviation of computedradiography. It uses digital images, which is convenient to access PACS system, and can be combined with computer technology to process images and improve image quality. The price of CR is relatively low, and a set of CR can realize the digitalization of X-ray equipment in the whole hospital.

Main advantages

The dose of 1.X-ray photography is smaller than that of traditional X-ray photography.

2. Digitize the image for easy access to PACS system.

3.IP board can be placed flexibly, which is convenient for seriously ill patients with mobility difficulties.

4. Compared with DR, the price is low, and a set of CR can realize the digitalization of X-ray equipment in the whole hospital.

Computerized X-ray photography (CR) system realizes the digitization of conventional X-ray photography information, and directly converts the analog information of conventional X-ray photography into digital information. It can improve the resolution and display ability of images and break through the inherent limitations of conventional X-ray photography technology. Computer technology can be used to realize various image post-processing functions and increase the level of displayed information;

The radiation dose and radiation damage of X-ray photography can be reduced, and multi-level image information can be captured only by one exposure, which meets the requirements of diagnosis. When the exposure is insufficient or excessive, the image can be displayed better to some extent, and the re-shooting caused by improper selection of X-ray photography parameters can be avoided, thus reducing the X-ray dose of the subject.

In addition, the image can be stored on the disk, which avoids the degradation of image quality caused by the long storage time of traditional photos, and is convenient for photo printing, online transmission, consulting and resource sharing.

Moreover, the improvement of its image quality lies in the post-processing of the computer, which can be improved by techniques such as window width, window level adjustment and edge enhancement, and has played a huge role in the war against SARS without smoke.

"Energy subtraction" is one of the computer X-ray photography image processing technologies, which is mainly used for chest examination at present. It can obtain the original image of chest, simple lung tissue image, simple rib image and other image information at the same time, and eliminate the image of bone or soft tissue, thus providing strong evidence for rib fracture or lung mass and its damage to ribs.
