Yes, especially ottawa ankle, and wells. Occasionally ottawa knee, and most c-spines have already been imaged.
Technically, most civilian physical therapists do not have the capability to order tests. The nice thing about knowing these rules is to 1) educate a patient as to why diagnostic testing was not ordered or 2) to suggest diagnostic testing when it did not occur (a generally very unlikely scenario).
