IMAGING INTERPRETATION
CenterLine is committed to serving the physicians we work with and their patients by providing the highest quality imaging interpretation services. We provide expert primary interpretation and professional secondary interpretation of the spine and musculoskeletal system utilizing radiography, MRI, and CT imaging. In addition, Dr. Mussmann has over three years of experience in interpretation of upright MR imaging including flexion and extension positional imaging. Reports are generated on Mondays & Thursdays. Urgent cases may be read upon request within a few hours if digitally submitted.

As a chiropractic radiologist, our reports are specifically tailored to the needs of the chiropractic doctor. We understand that information about postural alterations, normal anatomic variants, and weight-bearing imaging may significantly impact the treatment plan that chiropractors create for their patients, which is why these are standard in all of our reports. In addition, our reports will clearly identify contraindications for chiropractic manipulation and provide guidance for appropriate further imaging, laboratory evaluation, and referrals when necessary. If there are specific lines of measure that you would prefer to be included on your reports, our radiologists will work with you to tailor reports to your needs and include the information that is helpful for you to treat your patients.
CenterLine provides expert primary and secondary interpretation. Imaging studies may be submitted for a professional final report, or primary interpretation. We also understand that sometimes a previously generated report may not have all of the information that you need to treat your patient. We are happy to perform a professional, unbiased, second opinion, or secondary interpretation of imaging. If submitting images for a secondary interpretation, please include the primary report with images.
