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]
