Qu'est-ce que la radiologie numérique et pourquoi c'est important?

At Centre Chiropratique St-Lazare, we are equipped with a state-of-the-art digital radiography lab. But what does this mean for you as a patient, and why is it an important advantage in your chiropractic care?

What is digital radiography?

Unlike traditional film X-rays, digital radiography uses electronic sensors to produce instant, high-resolution images on a computer screen. Images are available in seconds and can be enlarged, adjusted, and analyzed with precision.

Benefits for the patient

  • Less radiation: Digital radiography emits up to 80% less radiation than conventional X-rays.
  • More precise images: Dr. Butz can see the details of your spine with exceptional clarity.
  • Faster diagnosis: No waiting for film development — images are analyzed immediately during your visit.
  • Everything under one roof: No need to go to another facility for your X-rays.

When is an X-ray necessary?

Dr. Butz recommends an X-ray when there is persistent pain, after trauma such as a car accident, or to assess the progress of treatment. It is a valuable diagnostic tool that allows for truly personalized chiropractic treatment.
