A standard X-ray provides tremendous value to a clinician for its ability to quickly provide a static image of anatomical structures. There are limitations, however, to static exams.

Dynamic digital radiography (DDR) adds dynamic, or motion, capability to X-ray technology that captures sequential radiographic images in a single exam. Unlike fluoroscopy, X-ray with DDR is not viewed in real-time, so an exam can be performed by a radiologic technologist without a physician present in the exam room. DDR is an enhanced version of a standard digital radiography system that acquires up to 15 frames per second for as long as 20 seconds, resulting in a maximum of 300 X-ray images with a dose equivalent to about two standard X-rays. With DDR, radiation is lower than fluoroscopy or CT, and requires a shorter exam time than MRI (magnetic resonance imaging).

The benefits of DDR are being explored across a variety of disciplines. In pulmonology, DDR can be used to visualize and quantify lung function in relationship to surrounding structure. In orthopedics, DDR can be used to assess instability, musculoskeletal injury, sources of pain, and treatment follow-up of any joint throughout its range of motion – whether it be the neck, spine, shoulders or knees. It can also be a helpful tool for postoperative evaluation of movement in place of a more expensive CT (computed tomography) or MRI exam. DDR use is also being explored as an effective tool for other applications, including swallow studies for speech therapy.

“Clinicians can now see more with a dynamic X-ray,” says Guillermo Sander, Director of Digital Radiography at Konica Minolta Healthcare, a global medtech company. “Because DDR is another X-ray technique using the same X-ray system, the equipment and technician workflow is the same. Actually, it just adds an extra minute of time”. For many physicians, DDR provides a more complete diagnosis and has become a key differentiator for their practice. For patients, there is a wow factor when they see the motion in their X-ray. Sander says that anecdotal feedback suggests that patients who see a dynamic X-ray are more likely to understand their condition and adhere to their rehabilitation plan. “Adding movement gives new insight, which makes it easier for clinicians to support the technology and make it useful.” To Sander, this is a technology worth exploring.

Since its creation in 2008, the International Initiative of X-Ray Fundamental Parameters has strived to become a bridge between academia and industry being active in quantitative x-ray analysis and related instrument manufacturing. National metrology institutes and research centers, where metrology grade experiments and calculations are being developed, have paired with technological advanced partners in the R&D industry of X-ray methodologies. Indeed, X-ray measurements form the basis of an ever-increasing number of areas as varied as medical technology, renewable energy, semiconductor and nanotechnology fabrication, law enforcement and planetary exploration. However, pushing the limits of X-ray technology requires a critical assessment and evaluation of available data related to the interactions of X-rays with matter (“fundamental parameters” or FP).

One of the main challenges of the International Initiative on X-Ray Fundamental Parameters is the integration of the new, state-of-the-art results obtained within this framework, into critically evaluated compilations. Thus, the goal of this extra issue is to provide a platform to showcase all the high quality research being performed worldwide in the X-ray fundamental parameters field.
