Hypoxic damage can occur to most of the infant s organs heart , lung s, liver , Gut zoology gut , kidneys , but brain damage is of most concern and perhaps the least likely to quickly or completely heal. In the more pronounced cases, an infant will survive, but with damage to the brain manifested as either mental, such as developmental delay or intellectual disability , or physical, such as spasticity in fact, spastic diplegia and the other forms of cerebral palsy almost always feature asphyxiation during the birth process as a major, if not defining, factor. It results most commonly from a drop in maternal blood pressure or some other substantial interference with blood flow to the infant s brain during childbirth delivery . This can occur due to inadequate circulatory system circulation or perfusion , impaired respiratory effort, or inadequate Ventilation physiology ventilation . Perinatal asphyxia happens in 2 to 10 per 1000 newborns that are born at term, and more for those that are born prematurely. ref cite web url http www.ajnr.org cgi content abstract 11 6 1087 title Brain damage from perinatal asphyxia correlation of MR findings with gestational age Barkovich and Truwit 11 6 1087 American Journal of Neuroradiology publisher www.ajnr.org accessdate 2008 03 27 last first ref An infant suffering severe perinatal asphyxia usually has poor color cyanosis , perfusion, responsiveness, muscle tone, and respiratory effort, as reflected in a low 5 minute Apgar score .

Orphan date February 2009 Digital motion X ray DMX is a video based fluoroscopy system. DMX is the next evolution of static X ray which is coupled with digital and optic technology, allowing clinicians to view the spine and extremity articulations in Real time computer graphics real time motion at 30 exposures per second. The procedure is performed with the patient standing and actively moving in a weight bearing position within the system. DMX allows clinicians to evaluate all 22 major ligaments of the cervical spine with up to 2,700 X ray images. The DMX is used to find ligament damage that static films and MRI miss. The DMX is well founded X ray based on sound scientific principles. References 1. Hino H, Abumi K, Kanayama M, Kaneda K.
