AB Traditionally,  the  field  of  imaging  has  been  the  domain  of  the  physician.  Rehabilitation  clinicians  have  generally  excluded  themselves  from  interaction  with  imaging.  This  self-imposed  professional  boundary  evolved  from  a  misconception  that  information  gained  from  viewing  images  was  pertinent  only  to  the  medical  diagnosis  and  therefore  pertinent  only  to  the  physician.  Studying  the  patient's  diagnostic  images  was  rarely  considered,  and  simply  reading  the  radiologist's  “x-ray  report.”  was  accepted  as  sufficient.  A  long-held  erroneous  belief  of  clinicians  was  that  even  if  images  contained  a  wealth  of  information  that  could  enhance  patient  treatment,  they  were  incapable  of  finding  it  on  their  own.
