Abstract/Notes Excerpt: Potential harmful effects versus clinical benefits of radiography remain a significant concern and topic of debate in the chiropractic profession. Oakley et al. proposed the chiropractic profession review radiography standards and regulations implying there may be more good than harm from diagnostic ionizing radiation exposure. However, the preponderance of evidence does not support abandoning current standards and regulations as explained in our recent commentary. This letter is in response to Oakley P, Harrison DD, Harrison DE, Haas J. A Rebuttal to Chiropractic Radiologists’ View of the 50 year old, Linear-No-Threshold Radiation Risk Model (J Can Chiropr Assoc 2006, 50 (3): 172–181). Unfortunately, further attempts by Oakley P, Harrison DD, Harrison DE, Haas J. to justify their position has not helped further the discussion.
