Relationships from benefits-costs analyses in radiography are presented. The impact of several factors (equipment, frequency of examinations, ...) on the planning of a department and special financial aspects, e.g., leasing of equipment, are discussed. The cost relationships of conventional versus digital radiography are demonstrated for the example of a 1000-bed hospital.
