Digital motion x rays are video images of body structures that can be used to diagnose various diseases. They are similar to MRI and CAT scan images. Both involve exposure to radiation but one type is safer than the other. Digital motion x rays can be displayed on a computer screen or printed on film.
Digital motion x rays have several advantages for patients. They can document any abnormal findings throughout the body, which helps the medical professional decide on the best treatment method for the patient. They are particularly helpful in neck injury cases that have long-term pain symptoms. In addition, they can be helpful in identifying if there is a structural problem or ligament damage that has resulted in the pain. In some cases, these x-rays can show whether there is a fracture, gross dislocation or even tumor.
Digital motion x-rays are also helpful for diagnosing injuries caused by sports, auto accidents, and work-related accidents. They can also be beneficial for people who suffer from TMD or chronic spinal alignment problems. They may even be beneficial in treating degenerative diseases. If you have an injury, be sure to visit your chiropractor today to find out how this advanced technique can benefit your health. It’s time you took the first step toward healing your pain and getting back to normal life.
Digital Motion X-rays are also very helpful in diagnosing post-traumatic ligament instability. These scans can show injuries to ligaments that cause neck pain. In contrast, MRIs and CTs miss these injuries. This X-ray can help your doctor detect a fracture in these areas, which can lead to a faster and more effective treatment. These imaging tools can also help diagnose and treat TMJ.
Traditional x-ray machines expose patients to more radiation than digital motion x-rays, and they require patients to sit still while images are taken. This can cause blurring in the image, so patients should always be comfortable while undergoing the test. The DMX technology allows doctors to view patients’ bodies while they are performing movements. The results can be printed or saved to a CD for further review. The technology is highly advanced and offers great value in identifying pain in patients.
Digital Motion X-Rays also allow for an examination of cervical spine motion. The technology records 30 images per second, allowing the doctor to detect abnormal intervertebral motion, which is an indicator of ligamentous instability. It also allows for dynamic four-dimensional visualization of the cervical ligaments. So, if you have a problem with spinal subluxation, a digital motion X-ray may be the solution.
Digital motion x-rays can be useful for insurance claims, injury recovery, and more. In the case of a traumatic accident, these scans may help the doctor determine whether a patient needs treatment and can claim compensation. A digital motion x-ray is also helpful in the case of disability and pain.
DMX is a complementary imaging technique to MRIs and plain film x-rays. It shows ligament damage and clinical spinal instability that are not visible on standard x-rays. It allows the doctor to determine whether any ligaments are injured in a patient’s back or neck.
