Could full-body digital X-ray (LODOX-Statscan) screening in trauma challenge conventional radiography?
Full-body radiography with LS visualizes skeletal, chest, and pelvic pathologies "all-in-one." This low-radiation technology detected chest, thoracolumbar spine, and pelvic injuries with an overall sensitivity of 62% and a specificity of 99%. Compared with figures in the literature, LS was more accurate than conventional X-rays. A prospective randomized study is warranted to support these data.
Both the anterior cingulate cortex and the supplementary somatosensory area receive afferent projections from medial thalamic nuclei that receive nociceptive inputs, and both have been shown to respond to noxious stimulation. Hence, although the results of this experiment did not confirm our hypothesis that the NDP is generated in SI, they are consistent with the hypothesis that the NDP is generated in the supraspinal pain pathways.
