Description
With the advent of direct access, a shift toward primary care referrals, and recent legislation it is becoming more likely that clinicians will play a pivotal role in identifying patients’ who need a radiographic evaluation. The course first reviews evidence-based guidelines for ordering a radiographic evaluation as well as the basics of reviewing radiographs. The course then presents the clinician with valuable information needed to recognize what views typically comprise a radiographic evaluation for a particular joint, as well as views required for identifying specific pathology.
