Best Answer

Chiropractic education includes instruction and clinical experience in reading MRI. Further, chiropractic radiologists, who study for 3 additional years following their 4 years of chiropractic school, have very extensive training in the interpretation of all forms of medical imaging.

That being said, the expertise of a chiropractor or chiropractic radiologist will be in interpreting neuromusculoskeletal aspects of the MRI. For interpretation of visceral (organ) conditions that may appear on MRI, I would suggest a medical radiologist rather than a chiropractic radiologist.

How intelligant are chiropractic?

I don't know if you can answer a question that asks the collective intelligence of an entire profession. Some chiropractors are idiots, and they need to have their licenses taken away. However, I know many chiropractors who are pretty much geniuses, and have a lot to teach others. Most of the chiropractors I know are probably smarter than the average person in the community.
