A dedicated imaging center. Coming soon. A Diginal Motion X-ray (DMX) imaging center is coming soon! The latest DMX imaging technology with the clearest images and lowest radiation is coming to San Diego. Scans and bookings are not yet available.
Cervical Lateral Flexion and Extension
This view is taken to observe spinal instability of C1 sliding forward on C2. This increase in the atlanto-dental interspace is diagnostic for a torn transverse ligament. This view can also demonstrate severe cervical instability in the lower cervical spine. Instability is confirmed if cervical vertebrae are seen sliding forwards or backwards on each other, if there is increased fanning between the spinus processes, or increased anterior disc space widening.

A clearer view
Our newest DMX machine brings the latest motion-imaging technology to San Diego, designed for exceptional image quality with lower exposure than older-generation DMX systems.
Detail in motion
Diginal Motion X-ray (DMX) allows you to visualize your anatomy in real time motion.
Lower exposure by design
DMX of San Diego utilizes the latest DMX technology allowing for the clearest images with the lowest radiation.
Specialist Interpretation
All DMX studies taken at DMX of San Diego are DACBR reviewed.
Image quality and exposure depend on the equipment, protocol, and examination. MRI uses no ionizing radiation.
More context for your diagnosis
If symptoms or an existing diagnosis leave questions unanswered, ask your clinician whether a motion study could add useful information.
Understanding Instability
Motion x-ray allows us to visualize the bones in motion. Visualizing the lateral mass of C1 sliding over the edge of C1 as well as changes in the paraodontoid spaces confirms the presense of craniocervical instability (CCI). Visualizing gapping or fanning between the facet joints or spinous processes confirms cervical instability (CI).
Clarity for Hypermobility
For patients with severe joint hypermobility or Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, seeing the unstable ligaments can help providers targets their treatments precisely.
Proof of Instability
All DMX studies done at DMX of San Diego will be read by a DACBR who will provide a detailed report with every area of ligament instability measured and listed.
All images read by
chiropractic radiologists
All DMX studies will be interpreted by chiropractic radiologists holding the DACBR credential.
