title: [Digital cameras: a practical solution for radiologists (review)].
abstract: Because of the developing technology in computers and internet, the need for creating the digital images and transmission of radiographic images over the internet is increasing. With their improved quality and decreasing price, digital cameras are increasingly attractive for radiologists. In medicine they have already found a place in making a decision by allowing transmission of radiographic images over the internet and archiving of radiological images for personal collections, teaching and publications. When radiographs are digitally photographed, the quality of the images can be also protected. The purpose of this article is to describe the technical information and inform the radiologists about digital cameras, and answer the question 'what kind of digital camera can I buy?'.
