Video Summary
In this webinar hosted by the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) in collaboration with Konica Minolta Healthcare, the focus is on the clinical applications and implications of Dynamic Digital Radiography (DDR) in thoracic and musculoskeletal imaging. John Sable, a Clinical Research Manager, opens the discussion by explaining the technology behind DDR, which captures a series of static images over a short duration to observe anatomical and physiological changes. The technology, which has been cleared by the FDA since 2018, allows for dynamic imaging with low radiation doses comparable to traditional static radiography.<br /><br />The webinar features presentations from three clinical experts. Dr. Don Benson from University of Alabama talks about the use of DDR in evaluating lung nodules and diaphragmatic function, expressing its potential in replacing chest fluoroscopy due to its ease and efficiency. Dr. Thomas Fitzmaurice from the UK highlights the application of DDR in cystic fibrosis patients and its role in assessing diaphragm motion and lung volume changes post-surgery, emphasizing the lower radiation dose and improved workflow compared to traditional methods. Finally, Dr. Eric Wagner from Emory University discusses DDR’s application in orthopedics, particularly in diagnosing shoulder pathologies and assessing dynamic scapular motion, showcasing its advantage in providing detailed motion analysis beyond traditional static images.<br /><br />Overall, DDR is recognized for its potential to improve diagnostic capabilities and treatment planning across various applications, with ongoing efforts to integrate it seamlessly into clinical workflows and gain acceptance among clinicians. The webinar concludes with a Q&A session where experts address technical and practical aspects of implementing DDR in healthcare settings.
