Digital
Motion X-Ray (DMX) is simply 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
procedure is performed with the patient standing and actively moving
in a weight-bearing position within the system.
Why
Patients Need Digital Motion X-Ray (DMX). You are sitting at a red
light waiting for it to change. All of a sudden, you hear the sound
of screeching tires and a loud crash. Your car jolts forward and your
neck whips backward then forward in a violent motion. You’ve just
experienced a whiplash injury. You are experiencing headaches and pain
and stiffness in your neck.
You
go to your doctor complaining of neck pain and headache, so he takes
several static x-rays which, of course, are negative because they are
taken for three main reasons: to rule out fractures, gross dislocations,
and tumors. Good news, you didn’t break or dislocate your neck
and you don’t have any tumors, but you still have headaches and
neck pain. Next, they do an MRI of your neck and it comes out negative.
Your MRI was negative because MRI looks at discs, but there are no discs
in the upper 30 percent of your neck or in the back of your neck where
your headaches and neck pain originate. So the doctor sends you home
with some pain medication but no definitive diagnosis. Your pain persists
but no one can tell you why, and the insurance company over time stops
paying your medical bills because there is no proof of your injury.
If this
scenario sounds all too familiar, you should have a digital motion x-ray
of your cervical spine. Digital Motion X-Ray (DMX) uses advanced technology
to detect ligament injuries that could never be seen before because
of the lack of motion. Static x-rays, MRI and CT commonly miss injuries
because you don't or can't move for the exam. Digital motion x-ray is
just the opposite. It can find injuries that are evident only when you
move. If your pain increases with movement, common sense tells you that
your injuries should be examined "in motion." If you are in
pain after an accident and no one can tell you why, digital motion x-ray
may hold the answer you are looking for.
