How Can (DMX) Digital Motion X-ray Detect Ligament Damage?
How Can (DMX) Digital Motion X-ray Detect Ligament Damage?
When a person has joint damage or instability, it causes an increase in motion between two adjacent bones (aka joint) causing excessive stress on the supporting structures and
nerve endings within those structures resulting in chronic pain. The ligament’s primary purpose is to connect adjacent bones together and restrict excessive motion between the
bones. When ligaments are injured, torn, stretched or weakened the adjacent bones move excessively causing many different types of symptoms and loss of function.
What is (DMX) Digital Motion X-ray?
DMX (Digital Motion X-ray) is an image-intensified fluoroscopic x-ray system that allows the doctor or clinician to perform x-rays on a patient

while moving the joint or body part. The digital motion x-ray makes a digital video of the actual joint or body part in motion v(spine, hip, knee, ankle, foot, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, and TMJ). DMX is an innovative diagnostic technology that can help diagnose painful conditions that are often undetectable by motionless static x-rays, MRIs, and/or CT Scans, MRI’s (magnetic resonance imaging).
DMX is a new type of fluoro-based x-ray system, coupled with new digital and optic technology, allowing clinicians to view the spine in real-time motion at 30 x-rays per second. The DMX system can produce 2,700 x-ray images with the same amount of radiation as a standard x-ray machine, which gives you 6 static x-rays. DMX exposes patients to far lower radiation levels than traditional video fluoroscopy. Also, due to the progress made in computer imaging over the last decade, DMX images are far clearer and more detailed
What’s injuries are found with a DMX (Digital Motion X-ray) ?
DMX can provide valuable information about the stability and/or injury of all 22 major ligaments in the cervical spine which cannot be detected by motionless MRI, CT, or Static
X-ray.
Digital motion x-rays detect spinal instability, fractures, abnormal bio-mechanics, anomalies, and ligament injuries not visualized on motionless non-weight bearing diagnostics.
Why Should You Use DMX (Digital Motion X-ray) ? DMX Digital Motion X-ray is the only moving diagnostic test performed in a weight bearing
position to evaluate the function of the 22 major cervical ligaments. Digital Motion X-Ray (DMX) helps doctors make a fast and accurate diagnosis for patients with ligament damage. In addition, Digital Motion X-Ray allows doctor
- Make the most informed and reliable diagnosis Provide proof of injury
- Increase patient compliance and understanding
- Detect ligament injuries objectively
- Substantiate patient care
Anyone who has been in a motor vehicle accident (even a minor one), sports injury, difficulty diagnosing the cause of their symptoms, or has had a traumatic fall or injury can benefit from the digital motion X-ray analysis.
