The International Chiropractors Association (ICA)'s Council on Chiropractic Imaging is requesting the submission of papers on all aspects of diagnostic imaging as it applies to chiropractic science and practice. The Council on Chiropractic Imaging Technical Review Committee is compiling manuscripts to be published in a volume of readings in imaging including x-ray, videofluoroscopy, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). These manuscripts will be used as a supplemental text in postgraduate teaching programs and as an aid to doctors in active practice.
Manuscripts must be the original work of the author(s), properly referenced, and written at an appropriate professional and technical level. The papers should present completed work in a specific area of research or clinical observation and application of imaging technology. Previously published papers are welcomed and multiple submissions from a single author will be considered.
Manuscripts must be typed and double-spaced, and submitted no later than September 1, 1992 to the following address:
International Chiropractors Association
Council on Chiropractic Imaging
1110 North Glebe Road
Suite 1000
Arlington, VA 22201
Authors of accepted manuscripts will be awarded an honorarium for the publication rights of their papers. Any questions may be directed to Mr. Ronald Hendrickson, ICA executive director, at (703) 528-5000.
Many relevant diagnostic signs are not performed deliberately by the examiner or by the patient at the examiner’s direction. They are observed as the patient reacts to their condition. Fortin’s finger sign, Minor’s sign, and Vanzetti’s sign are three examples of this principle.
On Feb. 1, 2024, two more legislators – John R. Carter (R-Texas) and Robert “Bob” Good (R-Va.) – co-sponsored the Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act of 2023, bringing the co-sponsor total to 155, two more than the total achieved over the entire two-year congressional cycle in which identical legislation last appeared (2021-22).
While working at the Lovelace Medical Center in Albuquerque, N.M., one of the primary care physicians stated that imaging every patient prior to receiving chiropractic was not medically necessary. It was at that point I reconsidered the need for the imaging of every patient to avoid malpractice.
