Idaho’s Only Facility To Offer Digital Motion X-Ray Imaging
DMX, or Digital Motion X-Ray, is a specialized imaging technology used to detect hidden ligament injuries, particularly in cases involving trauma, such as car crashes. Unlike traditional static X-rays, DMX captures real-time motion, allowing doctors to observe ligament behavior while the body is in motion. This method is especially useful for identifying injuries that are not visible in standard imaging techniques, such as ligament instability in the cervical spine.
If A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words DMX Is Worth A Million Words
If you have had trauma at some point…these hidden ligament injuries could be the CAUSE of your problem!
of the CAR CRASH Industry that THREE main professionals don’t want you to know!
