(DMX)Digital Motion X-ray Diagnostics For Ligament Injury and Laxity
What Is (DMX) Digital Motion X-ray?
Digital motion x-rays (DMX) can help doctors find the problems because it is weight bearing and motion based. DMX provided more information to the doctor on how the joint and structures are functioning in relation to the patient’s symptoms in real-time motion.
Digital motion x-ray (DMX) is an image-intensified fluoroscopic x-ray system that allows the clinician to take x-rays while the patient moves. The digital motion x-ray makes a digital movie of a moving part of the body (spine, hip, knee, ankle, foot, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, and TMJ). This amazing digital technology can help diagnose painful conditions that are sometimes missed by motionless x-rays, CAT scans, and MRI’s (magnetic resonance imaging).
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 Neck Injuries Are Found With A DMX?
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 biomechanics, anomalies, and ligament injuries not visualized on motionless non-weight bearing diagnostics.
Anyone who has been in a motor vehicle accident (even a minor one), sports injury, or injury can benefit from the digital motion x-ray diagnostic analysis.
