X-ray Reconstruction of Moving Morphology
X-ray Reconstruction of Moving Morphology or XROMM is a scientific research technique. Scientists use it to create 3D images and videos of moving skeletal systems in living organisms.[1]
In XROMM, radio-opaque bone markers are implanted inside a living organism, which allows the X-ray video system to calculate accurate bone marker coordinates as the organism moves.
XROMM was invented at Brown University.[1][2]
XROMM can be used to model such movements as birds in flight, humans running, frogs jumping, and a toad swallowing its prey.[3][4]
