When is a scan actually needed? And what do the results really mean?
In this episode of Injury Influence Unpacked, we unpack the grey area around imaging — especially in musculoskeletal pain. Whether you’re a clinician deciding when to refer, or someone wondering if they need an MRI, this one’s for you.
We cover:
What different scans actually show (and what they don’t)
When imaging is clinically justified — and when it’s not
How to avoid over-reliance on scan results in treatment
Why clinical reasoning still trumps the report
This is a transition-style episode bridging public insight and clinical practice — helping everyone better understand the role (and limits) of imaging in modern care.
