20 years ago the BENNETT™ 100 kHz high frequency x-ray systems set a standard in chiropractic radiology. Utilizing this technology to create greater penetration at lower patient dose has allowed HCMI to become a profession leader. HCMI has re-released the Bennett Renaissance Series Chiropractic X-ray system. Releasing this series has once again established HCMI as a profession leader in quality, technology and innovation. For over 20 years, HCMI has been providing quality equipment to the Chiropractic profession. When HCMI launched the DCX Direct Digital X-Ray system in August of 2005, they made history reaching a very important milestone in Chiropractic radiology. With over 100 DCX systems installed, this technology is rapidly becoming a standard in digital imaging. The Bennett Renaissance DCX Direct Digital system offers several tangible benefits to the chiropractic practice. The first and most important benefit of digital technology is the elevated quality of patient care. Due to the range of the digital receptor, the doctor has the ability to discover pathologies that might be missed with less sophisticated technology. This provides the clinician with a better diagnostic tool that provides for an immediate and precise diagnosis. At the same time, the short exposure time and the reduction in re-takes increases patient safety due to the fact that radiation dose is reduced by as much as one third without sacrificing image quality. Digital radiography eliminates film use and more importantly, it eliminates the need for dark rooms and storage space, the processing and disposal of chemicals, and time-consuming film duplication. The electronic format makes filing and file retrieval much more efficient. All of these factors need to be considered when contemplating a digital solution.

Fuji’s FCR Prima-T, the latest addition to its FCR Prima family, is designed to eliminate any existing barriers to the adoption of digital x-ray. Created specifically to meet the x-ray needs of low volume private practices in the market for a compact, tabletop digital x-ray system, the Prima-T comes complete with a CR reader, an electronic viewing workstation and an archiving system, enabling facilities to quickly and easily transition to a softcopy imaging environment.
“The FCR Prima-T is the ultimate digital x-ray system for small, private practice facilities looking to upgrade to digital at an attractive price point,”says Eddie Massetti, Manager of Distributor Sales at FUJIFILM. “It’s one of the smallest tabletop systems on the market (22” x 21.5” x 15”) enabling one person to install and transport. This compact design eliminates the need for designated floor space, and at just 86 pounds it can be installed on nearly any desk or tabletop.”
A pioneer of digital x-ray, FUJIFILM has years of experience in delivering renowned image quality and image processing that are available with their FCR Prima-T. The tabletop digital x-ray system is customized for each specialty practice to provide convenient access to the specific exams a practice relies on most. And by offering a wider dynamic range than film, the FCR Prima-T is more forgiving to over- and under- exposures so repeat exams are greatly reduced, saving both staff time and patient time, and virtually eliminating unnecessary re-exposure to radiation.

The digital radiography sensor NAOMI is a digital x-ray that is gentle to people and the environment. It does not need any film, chemicals or maintenance. It assists doctors to start the diagnosis quickly by immediately displaying the image, and cuts down the patient’s waiting time. The x-ray exposure dosage is drastically reduced, and the x-ray examination becomes gentle enough for babies in the wombs. Its x-ray images are crisp and clear.
As the doctors are able to share the captured images by emailing or uploading to a server, even a small clinic in rural area can consult with any specialists from a metropolitan area. “To bridge healthcare disparity,” the digital radiography sensor NAOMI is widely used in hospitals and clinics regardless of its size or geographic locations.
Since the discovery of x-rays by Wilhelm Roentgen in 1895, we have been capturing its light with a film. Time has changed, and the medical scene is rapidly becoming a film-less environment. Currently there are two types of digital radiography: CR (computed radiography) and DR (direct radiography). However, CR is only the transitional technology to digital. Now the digital radiography market shows significant transition from CR into DR. The DR system makes the x-ray examination quicker and more efficient than ever.

Spinal Kinetics’ Board-Certified medical radiologists can provide you with technologically driven, accurate spinal ligament assessments that can assist you in determining the most patient effective and cost efficient care paths. Now you can more accurately determine the level of ligamentous instability (laxity), correlate spinal instabilities, determine the location and severity of the spinal sprain and rule in or rule out “Alteration of Motion Segment Integrity” with one test.
A chiropractor may be trying to determine the location and severity of the spinal sprain associated with many different “Mechanisms of Injury” in order to determine proper patient treatment. The same provider may be ruling in or out “Alteration of Motion Segment Integrity” in order to make proper “Return to Play” recommendations for patients participating in contact sports. This same information can be utilized to help with impairment determinations and to objectively document the actual injury.
These same findings can be utilized in some guidelines for such things as Spinal Fusion Surgery pre-authorizations if conservative care fails and it is determined to be the most effective care path.
