The CNAC supports the use of diagnostic imaging by chiropractors and acknowledges radiographic analysis and evaluation as an important diagnostic tool. The CNAC recognizes the chiropractor’s formal education, including training in radiology and clinical expertise in making an informed recommendation for the inclusion and frequency of radiographic analysis or other diagnostic imaging, along with the patient’s history, physical examination, and available research, to determine a care plan that is in the best interest of the patient’s individual needs and clinical presentation.
