In recording radiological images obtained by fluoroscopic techniques on permanent support, digital storage, when compared with other methods, shows several interesting features, especially in order to reduce the X-ray dose and to allow for using economical hard copies. In the paper a system is described, for which it is possible to predict competitive cost in the near future; such system is based on a 512 X 512 X 6 bits digital memory, continuosly refreshed and on a software package oriented to handle radiological images. Examples of images referring to typical body segments (stomach, skull, chest) are reported.
