Ordering an image is a clinical decision, a legal act and a radiation exposure at the same time. Most imaging training covers only the first. The chiropractor who can name the indication, defend the order in a record, and account for the dose is operating at a different standard from the one who images because the patient expects it.
Dr. Monte Horne works imaging as evidence-based decision-making: which modality answers which question, the red-flag criteria that justify the order or the referral, the regulatory and medicolegal landscape around radiology in a chiropractic setting, current radiation-protection standards, and a critique of the modalities coming next.
Choose Your Evidence-Based Practice Path — Three Lanes, One Curriculum
The Evidence-Based Practice series is a method curriculum, not a regional one: it runs from how you evaluate a patient, through how you image and document, to how care is delivered and shared. Nine courses, two hours each.
1 · The Clinical Encounter (201–202)
The foundation the rest of the curriculum rests on: how a patient is evaluated, and how that evaluation is recorded so it holds up.
201: Patient Evaluation
202: Documenting Clinical Outcomes
2 · Imaging in Clinical Practice (203–204)
Modality selection, red-flag criteria, interpretation and the medicolegal and radiation-safety standards that govern ordering images in a chiropractic setting. You are here: Evidence-Based Practice 203.
203: Imaging in Clinical Practice I
204: Imaging in Clinical Practice II
3 · Care Delivery and Collaboration (205–209)
Modes of care, collaborative management by region, and the two regional spine files — where evidence-based method becomes an actual treatment plan.
205: Modes of Care
206: Collaborative Care for the Upper Extremities
207: Lower Extremity Collaborative Care
208: Lumbar Spine Management
209: Cervical Spine Management
Every course in the series is 2 PACE-approved CE hours at $40, and the automatic bundle discounts apply across the whole lane.
What You'll Learn in Evidence-Based Practice 203
Match the modality to the question. Work through the current diagnostic imaging tools and their specific clinical indications, so the study you order is the one capable of answering what you actually need to know.
Select patients on evidence, not expectation. Master the red-flag identification criteria that determine when an imaging order or an onward referral is warranted — and, just as importantly, when it is not.
Navigate the legal and regulatory landscape. Understand the medicolegal exposure around radiology in a chiropractic setting and the risk-management practices that keep imaging decisions defensible in a record.
Account for the dose. Apply current radiation-protection standards and safety practice for both patient and practitioner, and critique the emerging modalities likely to change these decisions in the next few years.
Your Evidence-Based Practice Faculty
Monte Horne, DC — instructor of this course — leads the Evidence-Based Practice curriculum through evaluation, documentation, imaging, modes of care and collaborative management (201–207). Founder and CE Program Director of CCEDseminars, a Designated Doctor for the Texas Department of Insurance and a peer reviewer and expert witness, he teaches the evidence-to-encounter translation from the position of someone who has defended records for a living.
Steve Yeomans, DC, FACO closes the series with the two regional management files, lumbar and cervical spine (208–209), as a Fellow of the Academy of Chiropractic Orthopedists and author of several authoritative texts on clinical outcomes and orthopedic assessment.

Where Evidence-Based Practice Hours Count — State Rules Worth Knowing
Evidence-based practice coursework is clinical subject matter — evaluation, documentation, imaging, modes of care and collaborative management — which is exactly what several state boards ask for. In Iowa, these hours serve the 36-hour clinical case-management minimum; in Rhode Island, they address the 50-of-60 clinical requirement; and in Vermont — where practice-building coursework earns nothing — patient-care education like this counts fully under the clinical-focus rule.
Online-format allowances still vary by state — some accept every hour online, others cap distance learning or require in-person blocks. Check your state's guide in the full state directory before building your renewal plan.
Build Your Evidence-Based Practice Block
Every course in the Evidence-Based Practice series runs 2 hours at $40, so the automatic discounts do the bundling for you: 6–9 hours in one order earns 10% off, and 10 or more earns 20% off — the full nine-course series is 18 hours at roughly $288 instead of $360, with no promo codes. This course pairs directly with 204 Imaging in Clinical Practice II, which continues the imaging lane; 201 Patient Evaluation supplies the red-flag reasoning that drives the order, and 202 Documenting Clinical Outcomes the record that justifies it.

Evidence-Based Practice 203 — Frequently Asked Questions
What does Evidence-Based Practice 203 cover?
This course works diagnostic imaging as an evidence-informed clinical decision, from modality selection through patient selection to radiation safety. Also known as chiropractic imaging guidelines, diagnostic imaging referral criteria, or radiology risk management, it covers imaging modalities and their clinical indications, red-flag criteria for ordering or referring, the legal and regulatory landscape of radiology in chiropractic practice, radiation protection standards, and a critique of emerging modalities.
How many CE hours is this course, and what does it cost?
Evidence-Based Practice 203 is a 2-hour, PACE-approved online course priced at $40 — the standard $20 per CE credit hour across the CCEDseminars catalog. It is recorded, self-paced, and includes video and handouts.
When should I order an image rather than treat and reassess?
That decision is the core of this course. You will work the red-flag identification criteria and evidence-based patient-selection standards that determine when imaging or referral is indicated, so the order is driven by clinical findings rather than by patient expectation — and so the reasoning is visible in the record afterwards.
Who teaches Evidence-Based Practice 203?
Monte Horne, DC — founder and CE Program Director of CCEDseminars, a Designated Doctor for the Texas Department of Insurance and a longstanding peer reviewer and expert witness in chiropractic cases. Dr. Horne teaches 201 through 207 in this series, including both imaging courses.
