Digital Motion X-Ray
Digital motion x-ray here in Jacksonville Florida involves the use of either film x-ray or computer-based x-ray ‘snapshots’ taken in sequence as a patient moves. Older Film x-rays that they would have taken at Baptist, St Vincents, or Methodist in Jacksonville are digitized into a computer for manipulation while computer-based x-rays are automatically created in a digital format. The digitized snapshots are then put in order using a computer program and played on a video monitor, creating a moving image of the inside of the body. This moving image can then be evaluated by a physician alone or by using a computer that evaluates several aspects of the body’s structure such as intervertebral flexion and extension to determine the presence or absence of abnormalities.

Dynamic spinal visualization is a general term addressing different imaging technologies, including digital motion x-ray and videofluoroscopy (also known as cineradiography). These technologies allow the simultaneous visualization of movement of internal body structures, such as the spine (vertebrae), with corresponding external body movement. All of these methods use x-rays to create images either on film, video monitor, or computer screen. These technologies have been proposed for the evaluation of spinal disorders including low back pain.
Videofluoroscopy and cineradiography are different names for the same procedure that uses a technique called fluoroscopy to create real-time video images of internal structures of the body. Unlike standard x-rays that take a single picture at one point in time, fluoroscopy provides motion pictures of the body. The results of these techniques can be displayed on a video monitor as the procedure is being conducted as well as recorded to allow computer analysis or evaluation at a later time. Like digital motion x-ray, the results can be evaluated by a physician alone or using the assistance of computer analysis software.
