Guidlines of the ACCR:
The ACCR guidelines address issues common to clinical practice. They are not rules, but guidelines that attempt to define the principles of practice that should generally produce high quality radiologic care. Adherence to the ACCR Guidelines will not assure a successful outcome in every clinical situation. The guidelines are not intended to establish a legal standard of care or conduct, and deviation from one of these guidelines does not, in and of itself, indicate or imply that such practice is below acceptable level of care. The ultimate judgment regarding any specific procedure or course of conduct must be made by the chiropractic physician/doctor of chiropractic in light of all circumstances presented by the individual clinical setting. The ACCR guidelines are a consensus of procedures and conduct taught in CCE accredited chiropractic institutions and the practice of radiology by professional members of the ACCR. These Guidelines are reviewed and when necessary updated annually. Each of the following Guidelines was last reviewed and approved in October 2008.
