Digital Records General Statement of Policy

The ABO's position on digital records, including but not limited to photographs, radiographic images and study models is that it is the examinee's responsibility to substantiate the integrity of the records. The overall goal of records is to accurately represent the patient's clinical presentation at the beginning and end of treatment. It is therefore the examinee's responsibility to ensure that records production practices, techniques and technologies are accurate, unaltered, and satisfy the ABO standards. Any steps in processing the data for purposes of clarification, presentation, analysis or otherwise should not bias, interfere with, and/or misrepresent the authentic anatomy of the patient.
