Ruling out a fracture: imaging and Associated Foot Care
Imaging is a two-way fax workflow at Associated Foot Care: the order and clinical indication go out, and the read comes back for the podiatrist to act on. The imaging referral should state the clinical indication — the suspected fracture, stress injury, or infection — so the radiologist knows what to look for. Send the imaging referral as one PDF so the indication and any prior films stay together.
