Under TBCE rules, which radiologic activity is allowed for chiropractors?

• A. Performing surgery based on radiographic findings.
• B. Ordering radiographs only, without interpretation.
• C. Ordering and interpreting radiographs as part of diagnosis and treatment.
• D. Interpreting radiographs but not ordering them.

Answer: (C)

Under TBCE rules, chiropractors may use radiographs as a diagnostic and treatment planning tool by both ordering the imaging and interpreting the results themselves. This means you can request X-ray images when clinically indicated and read them to inform your diagnosis and treatment plan. Performing surgery based on radiographic findings is outside the chiropractor’s scope, and relying on someone else for either ordering or interpretation would not reflect the integrated use of imaging in chiropractic care.
