While cervical disc pathology can unquestionably produce radiculopathy, many patients presenting with arm pain, paresthesia or perceived weakness do not exhibit the clinical behavior of true nerve-root compromise. In these cases, failure to differentiate the primary pain generator may lead to unnecessary spinal injections, nerve ablation procedures or surgical consultation despite limited likelihood of benefit.
ICA Council Calls for Papers
The International Chiropractors Association (ICA)'s Council on Chiropractic Imaging is requesting the submission of papers on all aspects of diagnostic imaging as it applies to chiropractic science and practice. The Council on Chiropractic Imaging Technical Review Committee is compiling manuscripts to be published in a volume of readings in imaging including x-ray, videofluoroscopy, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). These manuscripts will be used as a supplemental text in postgraduate teaching programs and as an aid to doctors in active practice.
Manuscripts must be the original work of the author(s), properly referenced, and written at an appropriate professional and technical level. The papers should present completed work in a specific area of research or clinical observation and application of imaging technology. Previously published papers are welcomed and multiple submissions from a single author will be considered.
Manuscripts must be typed and double-spaced, and submitted no later than September 1, 1992 to the following address:
International Chiropractors Association
Council on Chiropractic Imaging
1110 North Glebe Road
Suite 1000
Arlington, VA 22201
Authors of accepted manuscripts will be awarded an honorarium for the publication rights of their papers. Any questions may be directed to Mr. Ronald Hendrickson, ICA executive director, at (703) 528-5000.
