Digital X-rays are passing the tipping point when they'll be shifting from high-tech to standard of care. With the ability to provide practices with faster imaging results, better diagnostics, less waste and lower radiation exposure for patients, it's easy to see why this technology is growing in popularity. Most digital x-ray systems have made the move from requiring a connection box to directly plugging into a computer via USB cable. However, a handful of systems have completely cut the cord to provide wireless connectively. Here's a look at some of those sensors.
