ANATOMY
There are two
anatomically distinct
regions of the cervical
spine:
cervicocranium (C1
and C2)
lower cervical spine
(C3 to C7).
Systematic Approach
Overall Review This uses an ABCS mnemonic
device
assessing the adequacy of the radiograph,
vertebral alignment,
the bones (for fractures or deformity),
cartilage (spaces between adjacent vertebral
bodies and between the spinous processes)
prevertebral soft tissues
A properly performed lateral radiograph
demonstrates all seven cervical vertebrae and the
C7-T1 interface
