Dynamic digital radiography: Application of dynamic DR in the whole spine and lower limbs diagnosis

 With the continuous development of medicine, medical imaging has gone through three stages, from the initial digital X-ray products to direct digital X-ray radiography products (static DR), and the current main choice of dynamic digital X-ray radiography (also known as dynamic DR).

 

In recent years, there are many patients with spinal and lower limb deformities, such as scoliosis in adolescents, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and bilateral lower limb deformities. Genu valgus and X-shaped O-shaped leg are also common orthopedic diseases. And the incidence rate shows an increasing trend year by year, often involving the hip, knee, ankle three weight bearing joints. It affects the lives of patients, and even result in losing the ability to work.

 

In the clinical treatment of spinal and lower limb malformations, corrective surgery is generally required. Before and after the operation , medical imaging are required to analyze the condition, make a clear diagnosis and observe the treatment effect. The conventional DR imaging area is limited, and the maximum size is only 43cm. However, the average length of the whole spine of adult males is 70-75cm, while that of females is 66-70cm. And both lower limbs are longer. The 43cm * 86cm super effective field of view of the PLX8600 dynamic DR of Perlove Medical can be used to take a image of the whole spine and lower limbs at one time.

 

Spinal deformity&Spinal trauma

The conventional DR radiography technology cannot take a complete image of the whole spine or both lower limbs at one time. The whole spine radiography requires taking images of the cervical spine, thoracic spine and lumbar spine respectively. Although local scoliosis can be observed, the continuity between the three cannot be observed, which increases the difficulty of diagnosis and treatment of this kind of disease.

 

Perlove PLX8600 dynamic DR can make the whole spine imaged at one time, visually display the overall shape of the spine and the position of scoliosis, evaluate the pathological degree of scoliosis, and comprehensively understand the physiological curvature of the spine at various stages and the relationship between the joints between the vertebrae, thus avoiding the impact of conventional spine photography on the entire spine curvature. It provides an important imaging basis for the diagnosis and treatment of scoliosis.

 

Lower limb trauma&Joint replacement

The dynamic digital radiography (dynamic DR) PLX8600 of Perlove Medical solves the problems of uneven density of stiching images and amplification effect at the splicing point, which brings a real solution for large field of view imaging to the clinic. with high-definition image quality and accurate imaging without distortion, It practically assists doctors in accurate diagnosis of diseases.
