basic projections for the cervical spine
AP
lateral
additional projections for cervical
open mouth AP
swimmer’s lateral
cross-table lateral
bilateral oblique
flexion-extension lateral view
articular (pillar) view
purpose of open mouth view
removes the mandible, so you can get a clearer view if AA
purpose of swimmer’s lateral view
visualization of CT junction
purpose of cross-table lateral view
confirm a suspected cervical fx
purpose of a bilateral oblique view
assessment of neural foramina
Which of the additional projections can be done routinely
bilateral oblique view
purpose of flexion-extension lateral view
stress test to inspect instability
purpose of articular view
suspected facet fx
What view is this
AP of lower cervical spine
What is the white
uncovertebral joint
What is the yellow
uncinate process
What is the purple
facet joints
