It's clear that Kodak has announced their intention to go the digital way,
but until sensors with enough resolution and range of sensitivity come
along the X-ray is going to be film based.
Look at it another way, what doc is going to "read" a digital image? Even
CT-scans and MRI's are, for the most part, read from film.
On the other hand there are some terrific software packages which present a
virtual 3D image of a CT scan or MRI, including artificial color for some
purposes.
If you are going to X-ray welding joints for a submarine, how will you
store them for the record without film?
