Digital x-rays: Email works, files on a disc works or they can be printed. We prefer email so they are already in our computer and we can print when needed.

Send by email: We exchange our digital radiographs via e mail works great usually and eliminates having the patient be subjected to more radiation they can be seen on the computer screen or printed out from the email if they don't have e mail then the x rays have to be mailed.

Digital xray: Most( im not sure if all) digital xray software can create a .jpg file, which is the pictures you see every day on your computer/ take with your smartphone.. Very easy to attach in an email, though ive seen some offices that i personally deem lazy, and thats when i personally get on the phone with them.... much easier to read than when printed out
