title: Digital radiographs: will the future ever arrive?
abstract: The benefits of introducing digital technologies and specifically digital radiographs should be compelling and yet the widespread acceptance has been slow. A brief anecdotal look at two other industries suggests possible insight into the factors leading to the acceptance of digital radiography in the dental industry. Rather than to argue for a single digital radiography product, it is suggested that irrespective of the means of digital radiograph capture, there are pervasive benefits for the dental practitioner in using digital radiograph technology.
