The Art of Interpreting Lumbopelvic Radiographs (2 Hours)
The seminar will commence with a basic review of indications for radiographic examination of the lumbopelvis in the adult population, including the low back, pelvis and hip regions. The necessity of radiographic examination of the lumbopelvis in the chiropractic profession will be compared to the medical model.
The science behind how we look at and interpret lumbopelvic radiographs will be presented along with the importance of chiropractors developing reproducible radiographic search patterns for each x-ray region they interpret. Dr. Gajeski will present examples of search patterns in the lumbar, pelvic, and hip regions. Attendees will learn how to look at an x-ray like a radiologist does in an effort to fully review all structures on the study and prevent the missed radiographic diagnosis.
