Learn how cutting-edge motion-based radiographic imaging is being used to evaluate joint stability, subtle injury patterns, spine and extremity motion, post-operative mechanics, and clinical decision-making in musculoskeletal care.
Join leading MSK radiology and upper-extremity orthopaedic faculty for a practical, case-based CME course on digital cineradiography / Dynamic Digital Radiography (DDR), an X-ray-based imaging approach that captures anatomy in motion. This course is designed for clinicians who want to better understand where dynamic imaging may fit in the diagnostic pathway.
Dynamic cineradiography of the proximal phalanx and D1 metacarpal, demonstrating real-time joint mechanics and instability patterns not visible on static imaging.
DDR imaging of the humeral head and scapula captures shoulder mechanics in motion, offering clinical insight into glenohumeral tracking and post-operative evaluation.
Many musculoskeletal conditions are not fully understood from a single static image. Instability, tracking, post-operative "clicking," spine motion, subtle injury patterns, and functional joint mechanics may only become clear when anatomy is evaluated through movement.
Digital cineradiography gives clinicians another way to assess motion-based pathology in real time. Rather than replacing standard X-ray, MRI, or CT, this course explores how dynamic radiographic imaging may help bridge gaps in the diagnostic pathway and support more informed clinical decisions.
"DDR has become a valuable problem-solving tool in our MSK practice. By visualizing anatomy in motion, we can better assess subtle fractures, joint stability, tracking, and soft-tissue findings — and tailor clinical management earlier."
— Sarah L. Koles, MSc, MD, FRCPCLearn how digital cineradiography captures anatomy in motion, helping clinicians evaluate joint mechanics, instability, tracking, and functional movement patterns not fully visible on static imaging.
Understand where DDR may fit in the diagnostic pathway, including cases where dynamic findings help clarify whether additional imaging, referral, or intervention is needed.
Explore how motion-based imaging may support earlier clinical decision-making in orthopaedics, sports medicine, radiology, pain management, physiatry, and primary care.
Review practical applications across upper extremity, lower extremity, spine, sports injury, post-operative evaluation, joint tracking, subtle instability, and motion-related pain.
Learn how dynamic imaging findings help radiologists, orthopaedic surgeons, sports medicine physicians, and rehabilitation teams better align around diagnosis and next steps.
Gain a balanced, clinically grounded view of where DDR is most useful, where evidence is still evolving, and how early adopters are integrating it into real-world practice.

Dr. Sarah Koles is a Canadian- and American-board certified musculoskeletal radiologist with expertise in MSK imaging, interventional MSK and spine procedures, clinical research, and multidisciplinary patient-centered care. She works at Beam Radiology in Calgary and serves as Medical Director of False Creek Clinic in Vancouver. Dr. Koles is also an associate professor at the Cumming School of Medicine at the University of Calgary and an active teacher and speaker in MSK radiology.
Dr. Koles has been an early clinical adopter of DDR, with experience developing protocols, training technologists, and applying the technology across lower extremity, spine, and MSK problem-solving use cases.
Dr. Eric R. Wagner is an orthopaedic surgeon specializing in complex shoulder and upper extremity pathology. His training includes orthopaedic surgery residency at Mayo Clinic, hand and microvascular surgery fellowship at Mayo Clinic, and shoulder and elbow fellowship training through Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women's Hospital, with additional international training in France.
Dr. Wagner has published extensively in upper extremity and shoulder surgery, including recent work involving dynamic radiography and shoulder biomechanics. His clinical interests include complex rotator cuff pathology, shoulder arthroplasty, instability, scapular pathology, and paralytic shoulder.
