The direct digital image is displayed on the computer monitor almost immediately. These direct digital receptors convert the x-ray beam into an electronic signal, which is then displayed as a grayscale image and stored in a computer. The same receptor can be used for each projection by repositioning the receptor for the next view after each exposure. These rigid receptors are usually either a charge-coupled device (CCD) or complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) sensors with the latter being the most common. Rigid digital receptors are categorized as direct digital devices.
