It should
come as no surprise that plain radiographic films
can be read quite differently by different doctors.
Digitizing and analyzing films removes the "subjectivity",
especially when the patient's clinical symptoms
indicate biomechanical injury such as instability.
Mechanical back pain is a diagnosis that often
results when diagnostic films fail to indicate
a clear deficit. Digitizing and analyzing films
with the computer removes the "guess
work" by producing exact measurements
that can help identify the injured elements causing
the "mechanical back pain".
The software compares the patient's measurements
to those of a "normal healthy" spine
allowing the defects to be easily seen.
Administrative
Costs Savings:
The use of IDT's analysis and reporting services
can significantly reduce the administrative time
you and your office staff spend providing information
to insurance companies. Reports produced by IDT
concisely summarize all objective pathology and
biomechanical findings in a document that usually
provides all the information required.
Pain Management Physicians can especially benefit
from using IDT's services. Many pain management
patients have had extensive workups by the time
they are referred to the Pain Management Physician.
Compiling all the background and documenting the
patients "objective" findings needed
to secure insurance reimbursement for your services
is a very time consuming and costly administrative
task. Regardless whether medical or disability
insurance claims are involved, the concise IDT
report provides answers to all the questions insurance
companies need to know in order to make payment.
In addition, Pain Management practices frequently
treat the same patients for months or years. The
detailed measurements and objective findings summarized
in our reports provide a baseline, which can be
compared to follow up films. These accurate measurements
provide a fundamental baseline that can be used
for reliable analysis of injury progression or
improvement. No gray areas.
Our services cost
the physician nothing to use and can provide outstanding
medical diagnostic information and save you administrative
costs.
