1 X-Ray Protocols Taking X-rays has been part of chiropractic history for many decades. In reality much of the science-based evidence of the spinal subluxation takes its origin in x-ray analysis. Most of the proven scientific treatment methods utilized by chiropractors have as their basis pre and post x-rays of the spine. In the current economic climate practitioners are often told one of or more of the following: 1. make an AP full spine 2. Make an AP full spine and AP cervical. Both have some postural and diagnostic advantages but are not considered routine protocol. Often those who advocate making those x-rays also told the chiropractors to build their practices by advertising free x- rays or discounted x-rays. We are not implying that doing so is wrong but time will tell if an idea or concept is right and has no adverse effects. With that in mind we begin this dimension with some questions that many chiropractors have asked us. Question: The coaching group I ve belonged to advocated low fees, no x-rays or minimal x-rays - only AP full spine and sometimes a lateral cervical neutral, low cost x-rays or using coupon or discounts other than when a car accident or workers comp injury comes in then we are taught to take lots of x-rays. This is what builds a practice. Is that true? Answer: 1. At times, low cost and minimal x-rays may initially increase patient volume, but the lower the fees the lower the quality of patients you attract it also telegraphs that we place little value on those services and ourselves. 2. The same holds true with not x-raying new patients or taking minimal or no x-rays. (Less than what the Board of Examiners would consider usual and customary). 3. The opposite advice to take lots of x-rays on car accident and work related injuries is wrong unless the patient s symptoms and responses to examinations indicate their necessity. 4. An AP full spine and lateral cervical neutral is also insufficient because protocol suggests an AP cervical, AP cervical open mouth. Refer to X-Ray Log. 5. Not taking those films predisposes one to miss issues that the AP closed and open mouth could reveal causing a disservice to the patient and also increasing your risk management barometer. Question: Are there down sides to no or minimal spinal x-rays, low fees and use of coupons? Answer: Yes and they include the following: 1. Low fees not only attract low quality patients and low quality patients bring other non- health related issues with them usually wanting the doctor to keep them off work or do illegal things with their automobile accident insurance company. 2. No or minimal x-rays increase the risk management barometer for missed diagnosis therefore increasing the possibility of malpractice suits. 3. Using some/some incentive attracts people looking for a deal and if they are still patients, as soon as another better deal comes along they are gone. Most will not be in your practice very long as most are looking for a crack in the back and will not follow through with regular care. With that in mind let s review the X-RAY PROTOCOL The Importance of Radiographic Analysis In Today s Chiropractic Practice Regardless of your belief the public is confused. Much of the profession has succumbed to the ranks of treating people based solely on symptoms. Some DC s are conveying the wrong message and doing a disservice to their patient s, the community and themselves. The American Chiropractor - Tim Miggs, DC Some Do Some Don t Many don t x-ray Some x-ray but not adequately Many films are of poor quality Many do not send x-rays out for second opinion Some rely on interpretation by medical rather than chiropractic radiologists. Those who do not x-ray before treatment open themselves to malpractice and other legal ramifications (MBCE).
2 No x-rays - No x-rays before treatment: Malpractice Other legal ramifications (MBCE) Misdiagnosis Possible mistreatment Loss of patient confidence Poor practice growth Lack of Due Diligence - X-rays Failure to X-ray is #1 issue in malpractice issues. Failure to obtain a second opinion is almost always an issue. Failure to take/order universally accepted views. Failure to explain and give patient copies of the radiologists report Many Chiropractors who do take x-rays take an AP Full Spine, sometimes a Lateral Full Spine and nothing else which is often interpreted by Boards of Chiropractic Examiners as insufficient. Structural Management X-Ray Protocol The CATBITES System This system looks for indications of the following when reviewing x-rays: C congenital abnormalities A arthropathy and alignment T tumors B blood I infection T trauma E endocrine/metabolic irregularities S soft tissue abnormalities X-rays also provide the opportunity to: Assess ongoing gravity on the spine Rule out pathology Determine biomechanical defects DFN (Departure From Normal) where the millimeters of vertebral rotation are marked. Improve communication Treatment plan Referrals The Spinal Structural Fingerprint Consisting of or one or more of the following: Flat Plate Digital MRI - Upright MRI CT Scan Routine Protocol Non-radicular: Cervical Views: A-P open mouth Closed mouth Lateral cervical neutral Thoracic Views: A-P and lateral thoracic
3 Lumbar Views: A-P and lateral lumbar AP and lateral full spine - postural or diagnostic? In complaint and malpractice issues it s easy to find expert witnesses who will find untold poor technique and poor quality issues, failure to diagnose and who are critical of full spine x-rays. We are judged by the gold standards of the day. We re looking for: Cervical Spine AP Open Mouth (Open mouth AP Cervical/Thoracic is unacceptable) Subluxations Alignment of odontoid process with C2 spinous process Equal atlanto-axial joint spaces/alignment Equal atlanto-odontoid spaces/alignment Atlanto/occipital alignment and balance of occiput with spine - occipital shift AP Cervical dextroscoliosis/levoscoliosis Ligament Nuchae/spondylothesis/spina bifida occulta Muscle spasm and tendon irregularity Carotids/vertebral Temporal mandibular joints Lateral Status of cervical lordosis Center of gravity bisecting each bone so each bone can share in the distribution of the weight of cranium (approx. 10% of body weight) Status of discs, intervertebral foramina and facets Biomechanical Imbalances This biomechanical imbalance predictability increases stress of the C5/6 and C6/7 joint space over time, encouraging increased demands and premature degenerative changes in height of discs at those levels. Is there foramina encroachment, anterior bone growth with this type of biomechanical finding, as a reflection of Wolff s Law in action? Thoracic Spine AP Subluxations Muscle status Relationship of ribs to transverse processes Relationship of spine to heart and lungs Thoracic levoscoliosis/dextroscoliosis Lateral Normal kyphosis Excess kyphosis Loss of kyphosis Status of discs Status of intervertebral foramina Spondylosis
4 Lumbar Spine AP Subluxations lumbar ilium sacrum coccyx AP curve Dextroscoliosis/levoscoliosis Obturator equality - low, anterior/posterior Crests of ilium - level, imbalanced, anterior, posterior, internal, external, rotation, subluxation Alignment between spine and symphysis pubes Femur head levels Muscle spasms Lateral Subluxations Ferguson s Gravity Line - bisecting the anterior 1/3 of sacral base (center of gravity from side) Sacral base angle degrees AP curve Dextroscoliosis/levoscoliosis Status of discs Status of intervertebral foramina X-Rays - Whiplash Non-Radicular Cervical AP closed and open mouth Lateral cervical neutral Thoracic AP and Lateral Lumbar AP and Lateral X-Rays Whiplash Radicular Cervical Davis Series AP open and closed mouth Lateral neutral Flexion and extension Right and left oblique Thoracic AP Lateral Right and left oblique (Right and left oblique are for ribs) Lumbar AP Lateral Lateral right and left flexion Lateral right and left extension Right and left oblique Flexion, extension and lateral bending views uncover hypo or hyper mobility, any transitional defects and/or soft tissue irregularities.
5 Sacrum & Coccyx Sacrum - AP and lateral Coccyx AP and lateral Full Spine X-Rays AP and lateral Complaint panels and plaintiff s malpractice attorneys often consider them postural x-rays - not diagnostic. They may attack the lack of AP Open Mouth (and other routine x-rays and diagnostic tests) or views taken but that are not of diagnostic quality. Will enter as exhibits Chiropractic/medical radiology textbooks and articles that prove the doctor was negligent in performing due diligence. by not taking usual and customary views for a particular region. Films must be free of non-surgical artifacts. Shoulder Symptoms Right/Left Shoulder Internal rotation External rotation Baby Arm Tangential Projection Right/Left Clavicle - PA Acromial Clavicular - Bilateral Also Advisable X-rays appropriate to other extremity injuries Weight bearing MRI Neurological Consult Credibility/Due Diligence Scientific credibility and due diligence is always a major issue in all malpractice cases and complaint panel reviews. Your opinion is one thing. Expert opinions of others are another. Juries, judges, arbitrators and regulatory boards are yet another. Plaintiff and prosecuting attorneys are hiring MD s and DC s to testify to what usual and customary x-rays should be as well as the quality of the x-rays that the DC made or had made at another office. X-Ray Log Following is a sample x-ray log or checklist of items that must be completed for every patient x- rayed. These items are required by the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) X-Ray Unit. Your x-ray log will be reviewed when the MDH X-Ray Unit conducts its inspection of your facility. Failure to be in compliance with its Rules and Regulations can result in a $10,000 fine for each violation.
6 It is essential that the following be included on the x-ray log for every patient x-rayed. A copy of each patient s information must be maintained in your X-ray Log Book and a copy kept in the patient s file. Date of X-Ray(s) Patient Name X-Ray/Clinic Number Pregnant, Hysterectomy, Menopause Gender, Age, Date of Birth Pacemaker or other implanted device Patient Authorization to make x-ray Does the patient require a person of the same sex to be in attendance while he/she is being x-rayed?
