      2. Spotlight on software

      Software is a crucial element of any complete digital X-ray system. Be sure to demo software programs to make sure the usability meets your practice’s needs and meshes with your desired workflow. Efficiency and ease-of-use are two central points to focus on during any software demo. Does the software integrate with your existing practice software? Do you have ownership of your images? Are there cloud storage solutions included? Can you access and share your images at any time? These are some of the questions to think about when weighing out software options.
