Objective AOMSI Findings Can Change the Value of a Whiplash Case.
DICOMetrics™ enables physicians to quantitatively document abnormal spinal motion using CRMA. When AOMSI is demonstrated and determined by the evaluating physician to constitute a ratable permanent impairment, the resulting report provides objective medical evidence that can materially affect how the injury is documented, understood, and valued.
Bridge the Gap Between Clinical Findings and Legal Evidence
DICOMetrics™ CRMA reports organize complex spinal motion findings into clear, structured documentation - helping physicians communicate objective findings in a format that attorneys can more readily understand and evaluate.
Clinical Findings
Quantitative measurements, annotated
radiographs, and structured findings present
complex spinal motion analysis in a consistent
format - making the physician's conclusions
easier to understand and communicate.
Legal Evidence
Annotated radiographs and reported measurements show how quantitative findings were derived, providing clear documentation for review by attorneys, insurers, experts, and other parties involved in the case.
Permanent Impairment Can Change How a Case Is Valued
In a whiplash case, the distinction between subjective symptoms and objectively documented permanent impairment can be significant. When CRMA demonstrates AOMSI that meets applicable criteria, a physician may determine that the patient has a ratable permanent impairment—providing objective medical evidence that can materially affect how the severity and permanency of the injury are evaluated.
QUANTITATIVE MEDICAL EVIDENCE
Strengthen the Medical Evidence Behind the Case
DICOMetrics™ CRMA reports provide quantitative documentation of intersegmental spinal motion following whiplash injury. When measurements meet established criteria for AOMSI, those objective findings can support a physician's determination of spinal impairment—including, when clinically appropriate, a ratable permanent impairment under the applicable AMA Guides methodology.
