Reply With QuoteHi there. The policies on referring for x-rays and other investigations vary from country to country. In the UK a physio can refer for x-rays,MRI, Ultrasound scans etc as they like into the private sector. The public sector probably don't permit it due to budget costs. The same was true when I was working in Australia. investigations we could NOT refer for were/are more invasive scans such as CT Scans, PET, SPEC, Bone scans and anything that required the injection or ingestion of a foreign (often radioactive) material.

X-ray request
Hello Every one
I have Question about if Physiotherapist allowed to request
