MRI Versus Digital Motion X-ray

So, in this video, we’re going to uncover the mystery of the limited adoption of DMX.

Why isn’t every imaging center out there? Every chiropractor, every medical doctor, every MRI center? How come all of them do not have a DMX unit? Well, there’s a couple reasons. One, this is highly specialized equipment, so it is expensive, and that is a factor for some people bringing this in or not. Two, this type of technology, this company is actually a pretty small company that custom builds these machines. This is a type of fluoroscopy, which is like motion x-ray, but this is not just a standard fluoroscopy unit. This is something that is specifically designed to capture imaging of the spine, various extremity joints in motion without the image blurring with it keeping it very crisp and clean. So, this is a very specialized type of equipment, and this company, small company, makes about 20 or 25 units per year. So, there’s, there’s less than 300 units out there in the whole United States.

So, it is a very specialized type of equipment. Uh, last thing is, this actually is in various places across the country, like I said, less than 300 at this moment. The types of facilities that have these units, there are imaging centers such as MRI centers. There’s a handful across the country that have DMX units as well. Because they understand how important this is. It doesn’t substitute MRI, but it finds things that MRI alone is not really meant for diagnosing or investigating. You know, again, DMX looks for things, finds things that MRI cannot find. Uh, this is in different medical doctor’s offices. There are pain management doctors that have DMX and there are some chiropractors that also have DMX. Uh, but again, this is a very unique type of technology. At some point you will see this more and more as it gains more exposure and popularity. But we’re really excited that here at Gonstead Spine and Wellness in Meridian, Idaho, we are the only clinic in the entire state to have this official technology here in-House for our patients and for our community.
