View source for 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.<ref name=Brown>{{cite web|url=https://biomedcorefacilities.brown.edu/xromm-facility|publisher=Brown University|accessdate=November 15, 2022|title=X-Ray Reconstruction of Moving Morphology (XROMM) Facility}}</ref>

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]].<ref name=Brown /><ref name=XR>{{cite web|url=https://www.xromm.org/history/|accessdate=November 15, 2022|publisher=Xromm.org|title=History}}</ref>

XROMM can be used to model such movements as birds in flight, humans running, frogs jumping, and a toad swallowing its prey.<ref name=ToadPR>{{cite press release
