Imaging Essentials with Cliff Tao, DACBR

Should you have imaging on-site? Do you know when to refer out for the appropriate imaging? Are you concerned about reading your own imaging? 

Having imaging on-site isn’t only for those chiropractors who X-Ray all new patients. I know many great sports chiropractors who deal with many types of sports injuries who have imaging on-site and like to have an expert read their images. 

In this episode, I interview Cliff Tao, DACBR about many topics that you will find interesting in the field of diagnostic imaging. 

We discuss the following topics on the topic of clinical imaging 

  • The psychology of why some do or do not have imaging on-site

  • The finances of imaging on-site

  • Learning what conditions and red flags require imaging.

  • The process of having a DACBR read your images

  • Typical costs associated with DACBR reading your images.

  • Much more.

Dr. Cliff Tao is an incredible resource to our profession, and he is always available to help you navigate this aspect of chiropractic.
