The three advantages of digital x-rays involve convenience, quality, and minimal radiation exposure. As far as convenience goes, digital x-rays can be viewed immediately after the examination, as opposed to conventional x-rays, which can sometimes take one to two days before the film can be properly developed. This efficiency enables on-the-spot evaluation and diagnosis of the results.   Moreover, the quality of digital x-ray images far surpasses other forms of x-ray technology in image enhancement and detail while also reducing the amount of radiation exposure each patient is subjected to during an examination. While the amount of radiation delivered in a conventional x-ray is controlled and safe in small doses, but nonetheless comes with risks. With digital x-rays, the amount of radiation exposure each patient is exposed to is reduced by 80%. In this way, digital x-rays are a much safer and more efficient alternative to conventional x-rays.
