Digital Radiographic Mensuration is the computerized enhancement and generation of biomechanical line drawings of plane film radiographs. Identifying biomechanical deficits such as instability of the lumbar or cervical spine is complex and difficult. Different doctors see "different" degrees of abnormality on the films. The computer analysis sees "exactly" what is there and reports only objectivity measurements for the Doctor to consider before making a final diagnosis and determining a final treatment plan.

Many doctors are unfamiliar with computer aided digitizing analysis of spinal X-rays. However, the practice of using computers to "help" analyze radiographic films is becoming increasingly popular. Our software and services should be viewed as an adjunct tool to help make the most accurate objective diagnosis possible.

Diagnostic radiographic techniques have been shown to be reliable and they provide unparalleled diagnostic benefits. This technique has undergone peer review by an independent research agency (ECRI), which is the collaborating center of the World Health Organization; the procedure was accepted for inclusion in the US government’s National Guidelines Clearing House of the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR). The inclusion of Radiographic digitizing is rated as “Established”. The doctor can never have too much diagnostic data when called upon to make a difficult spinal diagnosis. Currently, there is no better way to secure detailed objective measurements and view information relative to the biomechanical status of a patient's spine.

Smith vs. Yohe, Supreme Court of Pennsylvania 10-9-63:
“If a physician as an aid to his diagnosis (i.e.; his judgment) does not avail himself of the scientific means and facilities open to him for the collection of the BEST factual data upon which to arrive at his diagnosis, the result is not an error of judgment but negligence in failing to secure an adequate factual basis upon which to support his diagnosis or judgment.”

Our reports are always produced and signed by a Board Certified Medical Radiologist and our quality of service is second to none.
