Why should I go digital?

If you use rechargeable batteries, then each unprinted digital shot is essentially free since the cost in electricity and reduction in lifetime battery capacity is esentially zero. Time: If you like to share your photos through email or web based galleries, it is easier and faster if you start with digital in the first place.

What is digital radiography?

UF | College of Dentistry : Teledentistry - Frequently Asked...
Digital radiography is a system where the x-ray image is stored not on film but as a matrix of numbers, each representing the amount of radiation reaching a detecting system. These systems use detectors that are more efficient than conventional film and this leads to a reduction in x-ray dose to the patient. Information captured in this manner can be stored and used in electronic systems such as computers.

What is a "digital mammography"?

Herzlich willkommen im DiagnoseZentrumUrania
It is performed in the same manner as the well known mammography procedure using X-rays. However, the images are not produced on film, but are converted into storable data on a so-called detector plate. The images can be processed in a simple way: One can emphasise or enlarge small details and, above all, detect small calcifications (microcalcifications) in a better way. These calcifications, less than 1 mm in size, may be the very first sign of breast cancer.

If your camera doesn't already support some webcam features, you may still be able to do it if you have a video capture card (or USB device) of some kind, by connecting the video out from your camera to the video in on your PC.
