Portable Dynamic Chest Radiography: Literature Review and Potential Bedside Applications.

ABSTRACT: Dynamic digital radiography (DDR) is a high-resolution radiographic imaging technique using pulsed X-ray emission to acquire a multiframe cine-loop of the target anatomical area. The first DDR technology was orthostatic chest acquisitions, but new portable equipment that can be positioned at the patient's bedside was recently released, significantly expanding its potential applications, particularly in chest examination. It provides anatomical and functional information on the motion of different anatomical structures, such as the lungs, pleura, rib cage, and trachea. Native images can be further analyzed with dedicated post-processing software to extract quantitative parameters, including diaphragm motility, automatically projected lung area and area changing rate, a colorimetric map of t
