Training and clinical role

The Korean biography identifies Dr. Seo as a radiology specialist and records previous radiology leadership at Deobareum Orthopedics. Her role should be distinguished from the clinician prescribing rehabilitation: ask how imaging findings will be integrated into the overall assessment.

Understanding imaging in a treatment decision

Bring prior images as well as written reports so the clinic can determine whether existing studies are useful. Ask the treating orthopedic clinician what question a proposed scan is intended to answer and how Dr. Seo’s imaging assessment would affect treatment or rehabilitation. Her role is diagnostic; the complete care plan should identify its supervising clinician.
