Minor Oof - The Aftermath
🕑 Added 2019-01-16 10:38:30 +0000 UTCI was pretty sure that that low budget Chinese geiger counter was registering heavy x-ray activity ... but since no camera sensor appears to pick up anything maybe it's just a fault in the x-ray machine after all?

From wikipedia: > A chrome steel G-M tube is about 1% efficient over a wide range of energies.

Internally, most seem to store and manage imagery data digitally, but use CD when transferring externally. In many cases, there seems to be legal requirements that it's fine physically.

Yeah, besides being a standard for x-ray image exchange, cost is probably the biggest reason for CDs. And cd burning robots provide a solution for automated mass creation. Though, the future will be a web based solution for download and upload of images… I think my colleges are currently implementing this in our hospital. Some patients already “bring” their images via Dropbox...

You play with x-rays I burn myself by accidentally getting CA glue on my finger and shortly afterwards the CA glue accelerant! Fortunately it's just a small blister. :)

our hospital will give you a cdrom with your records.

I think DICOM is still done on disc due to it's reliably, cost and its WORM nature. Cheap USB flash drives have a habit of going bad and decent ones are about 200-500x the cost of a CD-R.
