WHAT IS DIGITAL MOTION X-RAY?

DIGITAL MOTION X-RAY is a diagnostic test that records real time, full motion x-ray imaging of any body joint in motion. It records at a rate of 30 frames per second. Each study is recorded on DVD and VHS and can be played back in real time, slow motion or freeze frame. With Picture-in-Picture technology, you can watch the patient externally while seeing what is going on internally. In as little as 15 minutes, Digital Motion X-Ray (DMX) may reveal permanent ligamentous injury commonly missed by other diagnostic procedures. Digital Motion X-Ray (DMX) is the best diagnostic imaging tool to objectively demonstrate ligament instability, soft tissue injuries and intersegmental joint dysfunction. At Insight Digital Motion X-Ray, each study is performed by a licensed practitioner and subsequently read by a board certified radiologist.

IS DIGITAL MOTION X-RAY NEW?

No. Developed by Dr. Roentgen in 1885, X-Ray is the oldest and most accepted diagnostic tool known to physicians. Thomas Edison developed fluoroscopy a year later in 1896. Digital Motion X-Ray is simply a new type of fluoroscopy that is coupled with new digital and optic technology. Unlike standard fluoroscopy used in hospitals where the machine is moved around the injured area, Digital Motion X-Rays allows the injured area to MOVE while being scanned.

HOW CAN I USE THIS TEST IN COURT?

Each study includes a pathology report and biomechanical report using digitization. Overlaying the Radiologist's report on top of the Digital Motion X-Ray identifies and labels exactly where permanent soft tissue damage has occurred and the severity of the injury. Attorneys must show proof of injury in order for their client to receive the compensation they deserve. Before Digital Motion X-Ray, many attorneys settled for a much lesser amount because it was hard to prove ligament damage with static x-ray, MRI and CT. But now, with demonstrable evidence of the patient’s permanent injury, attorneys are receiving policy limits, and sometimes even more, for their client’s settlements.

**Additional Services
For an additional fee, 8 ½ x 11 Still Images including labeled overlays indicating the injured areas with ligamentous tears can be produced. This makes it simple for the untrained eye to see the obvious.
