AB  - In  February  2009,  the  American  Physical  Therapy  Association,  based  upon  a  mandate  from  its  House  of  Delegates,  sponsored  the  Physical  Therapy  and  Society  Summit  (PASS)  to  determine  the  extent  to  which  its  objectives  to  achieve  “Vision  2020”  were  on  target.  Feedback  about  this  directive  were  gathered  from  stakeholders  and  multiple  private  and  public  agencies.  Among  the  very  constructive  input  provided  by  the  collection  of  reviewers  was  the  observation  that  several  activities  and  experiences  might  not  be  met  in  the  absence  of  acquired  content  in  emerging  fields  of  science,  technology  and  discovery.  Not  surprisingly,  one  area  identified  as  deficient  in  its  scope  and  integration  into  education  was  the  role  of  imaging  as  an  information  base  for  decision  making  and  treatment  assessment  within  the  physical  therapy  community.  This  concern  serves  as  a  reaffirmation  of  the  work  undertaken  by  Lynn  McKinnis,  who  had  produced  the  first  edition  of  Fundamentals  of  Musculoskeletal  Imaging  in  1997,  12  years  prior  to  the  PASS  meeting!  In  this  regard,  Lynn  was  ahead  of  her  time.  The  fact  that  the  text  is  now  in  its  5th  edition  not  only  serves  as  a  validation  of  the  observation  made  by  the  PASS  faculty,  but  to  the  progressive  interest  in  imaging,  which  is  now  clearly  entrenched  within  orthopedic,  sports  medicine,  pediatric  and  geriatric  rehabilitative  care.
