CLEAR version of PostureRay is HERE!
The PostureRay® EMR software is now available with the CLEAR Institute technique. You will be able to quickly document, and analyze your patient’s spine using the principles taught by the CLEAR Institute
Our software quickly aids in analysis of spinal x-rays and plots abnormal deviations. Which means your patients can easily see exactly what corrections are necessary and track the progress of treatment, whether for spinal subluxations, scoliosis or a ligamentous injury secondary to traumatic event. The system even includes a “telestrator” function so you can draw as you demonstrate a patient’s spinal position giving for a dynamic report of findings (ROF). The x-rays, analysis, and documentation are easily exported to Electronic Medical Records as pdf les, or JPG images. Posture Ray is available for Windows 8, 7, XP, and Vista, and is compatible with DMX and DICOM. Digital x-rays are not required. With Posture Ray, you’ll save time while you provide better care, and with just one new patient a month, the system pays for itself. Starting at just $5999, financing is available with monthly payments as low as $199. Add Posture Ray to your practice. The advantages are easy to See.

Frequently Asked Questions
[accordion]
Quite simply, PostureRay® is a quick and easy radiographic EMR solution specific to today’s chiropractor that requires spinal displacements objectively measured and reported on x-ray. Chiropractors have a long history with measuring subluxations by hand on an x-rays utilizing a protractor, pencil, and specialized plastic templates. Unfortunately, with today’s migration to digital radiography, there are no adequate systems to meet the challenges of easily measuring subluxation, while reporting and educating today’s chiropractic patient. That is, until PostureRay®. The software that comes for x-ray acquisition with digital systems is quite ill-equipped to meet these demands. PostureRay® fills this niche. PostureRay analysis must be interpreted by the doctor and the doctor needs to verify all digitization markings, just as he/she would if they measured films by hand.
The PostureRay® system grew out of the general research acquired from CBP Non-profit. During these research projects a method of x-ray mensuration was invented by Dr. Harrison et al. which served for the basis of PostureRay®. The science that aided CBP researchers to measure and validate the Harrison Spinal Model was used in PostureRay®’s development. Next a friendly graphical user interface and reporting system was invented to meet the EMR demands of today’s clinician.
Our system is the ONLY software available to make use of the elliptical modeling algorithms licensed and protected by CBP Seminars. This software and all reporting methods are protected internationally by CBP Seminars, as well as by copyright and trademark law registered to PostureCo, Inc.
No. PostureRay® retrieves dicom images from a dicom root folder. PostureRay is NOT a PACS. What that means is that if you utilize digital x-ray or receive DICOM files from a 3rd party, you will still be required to use the FDA cleared acquisition DICOM viewing software shipped with your x-ray system. You still need image archiving software for your digital x-ray system, as PostureRay is an EMR system only, not made to replace a PACs. After the DICOM file is captured by that software, it can be exported and interpreted by the PostureRay® system. Most 3rd party acquisition software interfaces well with PostureRay® exporting DICOM or JPEG images which our EMR system can import. If you have any specific questions, please feel free to contact a customer service representative at

No. PostureRay® can utilize images from ordinary digital cameras utilizing a unique calibration method which has already been tested by CBP researchers to insure validity and reliability by today’s practicing clinician. This scientific paper is currently in preparation for submission to a major indexed journal. Our findings indicate that the PostureRay system is as accurate and reliable as the system CBP researchers utilized in all spinal modeling and x-ray reliability research. After all, it was developed with the aid of the same doctors!
Yes! The PostureRay system incorporates a unique calibration system to ensure the upmost accuracy when importing DMX studies from DVD media or the newer mpeg formats.
YES! PostureRay® is the ONLY software licensed by Dr. Harrison to overlay these copyrighted lines. Further, these normal lines are superimposed on the patient’s x-rays themselves in accordance to the published research. The Harrison Ideal Spinal Model has been published and supported in the best orthopedic and chiropractic journals in the world such as Spine, Clinical Biomechanics, Journal of Spinal Disorders Technique, Journal of Orthopedic Research, European Spine Journal, Clinical Anatomy, JMPT, JCCA., and the Archives of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation.
Fortunately, today’s chiropractor has a new and easy way to quickly measure, document and educate patients about their health abnormal spinal displacements. The PostureRay® system is a unique EMR system specific to radiography which will aid the doctor in accomplishing today’s extensive documentation demands, all the while saving time.
So if you are Sick and Tired of marking your x-rays by hand? This radiographic EMR system will aid the clinician in quickly recording subluxations, aiding in the documentation necessary for patient care, but also generate well written patient education reports, both initial and comparative as well as impression reports. Once the x-rays are digitized, the doctor has at his fingertips a unique digital view box to annotate and educate patients during their report of findings consultation.
Many doctors ask us if we believe they should “bill” insurance companies for using PostureRay. Our answer is a clear NO . While we feel our EMR provides fantastic reports for documentation, you should ONLY bill for your standard professional/technical components. So this means that in our opinion, if you are billing insurance, you already need to provide documentation ‘read’ for the x-rays regardless if done by hand, dictated, traditional emr or using postureray – there is no difference in our opinion for “billing” – no magical codes. Thus, PostureRay reports are simply making this task easier for you. Think of this as simply providing a higher level of service for your patients, especially in the world of education. It was not meant for a way to bill any other charges, as if you are a practicing doctor, you must be documenting your findings yourself anyway. PostureRay merely provides a better and faster way to do this.
For all billing questions, you should always consult a billing certified specialist that is certified. Also we believe while a staff member can help you put in patient demographic data, even uploading x-rays – the doctor is ultimately responsible for putting in all custom reporting on pathologic and general impressions as well as patient education components. More importantly, the doctor – just as if xray analysis was done by hand – ultimately is responsible for verifying the digitization was performed correctly before he signs off on any clinical records. The PostureRay x-ray emr is only as good as the operator.
No, we do not. Our software was made and born out of spinal modelling research, and a way chiefly used to better educate your patients with better documentation. We suggest that if you want someone to perform this service, it shouldbe a radiologist that understands spinal biomechanics, and we feel the radiologist needs to have the postureray system and they need to be the one to validate the digitization markings and base their medical/chiropractic read on their own read of the original x-rays from a PACs or plain films along with the digitization. The radiologist, not the referring doctor, should have their name and reading doctor would need to sign off on the reports. PostureCo only provides the EMR system and training and recommends that doctors do it themselves in their own office for ALL their patients, regardless of the mechanism how they pay for care in your office – PostureRay is an EMR, and should be used to help document care of all your patients in our humble opinion.
