Imaging may be a useful resource for musculoskeletal conditions and is a useful tool for physical therapists when used appropriately. Imaging like MRI, X-ray, CT scans, and bone scans are prime samples of practical diagnostic imaging that facilitates accurate diagnosis, prognosis, intervention, and assessment of injuries and dysfunctions that physical therapists address on a daily basis. It is important to understand when imaging is acceptable , as unnecessary imaging will squander financial resources and increase potential for premature surgery
