X-rays by Chiropractors

["Elizabeth Algutifan"<elizabeth_algutifan@wssrap-host.wssrap.com>]

What average dose is received as a result of chiropractic x-ray imaging to
patients? Just curious because they take several spinal images. Also, are there
special regulations for chiropractors vs. other health care entities regarding
use of x-ray imaging devices? And what about training requirements? I know a
chiropractor bases a great deal of his/her diagnosis and treatment
recommendations on x-ray images. 

Realizing this may be a controversial subject,
I appreciate any comments.
