Dynamic Digital Radiography
Dynamic Digital Radiography (DDR) allows you to observe movement like never before. This novel low-dose X-ray imaging technique enables visualization of anatomy in motion.
The DDR can acquire up to 15 sequential radiographs per second and play them back as a cine loop, allowing you to observe the physiological cycle and as individual radiographic images (up to 17"x 17" in size). This advancement in digital X-ray technology is FDA-approved and available in many of our systems. DDR is X-ray that moves!
Advantages of X-ray that Moves:
-
Fast Exam: In less than a minute, X-ray that Moves gives clinicians up to 20 seconds of physiological movement with a simple acquisition, performed by radiology staff without the need for physician presence
-
Low Dose Radiation: With an X-ray that Moves, radiation is lower than in an average fluoroscopy exam.
-
Convenient & Versatile: The X-ray that Moves system performs all standard X-rays, and images are taken standing, seated or on a table.

Dynamic Digital Radiography (DDR) allows you to observe movement like never before. This novel low-dose X-ray imaging technique enables visualization of anatomy in motion. The DDR can acquire up to 15 sequential radiographs per second, allowing you to observe physiological cycles, as well as individual radiographic images (up to 17"x 17" in size). X-ray that Moves is NOT Fluoroscopy – it is in fact the X-ray precursor to CT or MRI. Cineradiography is X-ray in motion that is derived using digital radiography
- PACS agnostic
- Dose equivalent to about 2 standard X-rays
- Short exposure time for optimal productivity
- Synchronized multi-frame acquisition
- Multi-function X-ray system for dynamic and static images for cost and workflow effectiveness
- Up to 300 images acquired over 20 seconds creates a “cine-loop”

Musculoskeletal applications
DDR supports diagnosing musculoskeletal conditions by presenting diagnostic detail in full motion.
With DDR, orthopedists can quantify the dynamic relationship between bones and soft tissue through the full range of motion. Having a full view of the musculoskeletal system in motion in weight-bearing or resting positions helps orthopedic specialists provide faster and more detailed diagnoses to improve the quality of care.

DDR Exams are Used to Assess Spine Stability and Joint Motion
Standard X-ray exams usually show a static view of the span in a flexed and extended positions. DDR can help assess spine stability by providing a detailed view of the full range of motion. Dynamic imaging has been shown to help assess joint and extremities in motion. Many orthopedic facilities are adding a DDR views of spine and extremities to diagnose stability, joint space, assess sources of pain biomechanics, musculoskeletal injury, such as whiplash, as treatment follow-up , and postoperative evaluation of movement before ordering a more advanced exam like CT or MRI. Furthermore, showing patients the joint movement makes communication simpler and more effective.
