The first DDR technology was orthostatic chest acquisitions, but new portable equipment that can be positioned at the patient\u2019s 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 the signal value change related to respiration and motility, and lung perfusion. The dynamic diagnostic information along with the significant advantages of this technique in terms of portability, versatility, and cost-effectiveness represents a potential game changer for radiological diagnosis and monitoring at the patient\u2019s bedside. DDR has several applications in daily clinical practice, and in this narrative review, we will focus on chest imaging, which is the main application explored to date in the literature. However, studies are still needed to understand deeply the clinical impact of this method.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medsci12010010","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,7]],"date-time":"2024-02-07T03:47:09Z","timestamp":1707277629000},"page":"10","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Portable Dynamic Chest Radiography: Literature Review and Potential Bedside Applications"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8906-5665","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maurizio","family":"C\u00e8","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Postgraduation School in Radiodiagnostics, Universit\u00e0 degli Studi di Milano, Via Festa del Perdono 7, 20122 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giancarlo","family":"Oliva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Radiology Department, Fatebenefratelli Hospital, ASST Fatebenefratelli Sacco, 20121 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francesca Lucrezia","family":"Rabaiotti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Postgraduation School in Radiodiagnostics, Universit\u00e0 degli Studi di Milano, Via Festa del Perdono 7, 20122 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"Macr\u00ec","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Postgraduation School in Radiodiagnostics, Universit\u00e0 degli Studi di Milano, Via Festa del Perdono 7, 20122 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sharon","family":"Zollo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Konica Minolta Business Solutions Europe GmbH, Capellalaan 65, 2132 JL Hoofddorp, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alessandro","family":"Aquila","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Postgraduation School in Radiodiagnostics, Universit\u00e0 degli Studi di Milano, Via Festa del Perdono 7, 20122 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7401-1971","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michaela","family":"Cellina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Radiology Department, Fatebenefratelli Hospital, ASST Fatebenefratelli Sacco, 20121 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"107","DOI":"10.1186\/s13244-023-01451-4","article-title":"Dynamic Chest Radiography: A State-of-the-Art Review","volume":"14","author":"Fyles","year":"2023","journal-title":"Insights Imaging"},{"key":"ref_2","unstructured":"Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health (2016).
