A lot of film radiography couid be repiaced by today's technoiogies in the field of digital radiography. Only few of these applications have indeed repiaced film. The choice to go digital depends on cost, quality requirement, workflow and throughput. Digital Images offer a lot of advantages in terms of image manipulation and workflow. But despite the many advantages, a lot of considerations are needed before someone can decide to convert his organization from conventional to digital radiography. This paper gives an overview of all different modalities that can be used in digital radiography with today's technoiogies, together with the experiences of the pioneers of digital radiography. Film Scanning, Computed Radiography and Digital Radiography by using of different kinds of flat panel detectors all have their specific application fields and customers. What is the Status of the technology today, which advantages brings digital radiography, and which are the limitations radiographers have to consider when replacing film by digital Systems.
