Height of the vertebral canal was consistently noted to be greater at the caudal orifice, giving some warning to the possibility of overdiagnosis in suspected instances of cervical spondylopathy. Purpose and Structures Shown A basic view of the cervical spine. The density should be appropriate with soft tissues and bony structures well visualized. Lateral motion within the transverse plane was detected at the 2 joints however, motion was minimal, and the measurements seemed to be less accurate because of rotation of the cervical spine. Radiologists consider a cervical spine X-ray to be of good quality when the lateral view shows all 7 cervical vertebrae plus the C7-T1 junction. At the atlantoaxio-occipital region, there was a high degree of motion within the sagittal plane at the atlantoaxial and atlanto-occipital joints the measurement can be a guideline in the radiographic diagnosis of instability due to developmental anomalies in this region. Between 9 and 26 of patients with one fracture or dislocation of the spine will have further fractures demonstrable radiographically at other levels 5. The most common fracture in elderly patients following a fall is a high cervical injury 1, 3. Also available other updated Radiology MRI, CT Scan, Xray, Sonography, USG, Mammography, PET CT, EEG and ECG Report templates. Whatever the level of violence, C-spine injuries frequently occur at the C1C2 level 1, 3, 4, 6. Dorsoventral slippage between vertebral segments was seen, but was not accurately measured.

Reports of severe disk degeneration in the cervical spine of the Beagle describe the most severely involved disks to be C4 through C7. The range of motion was greatest between C2 and C5. Positioning of the dog's head and neck was standardized, using a restraining board, and mimicked those thought to be of value in diagnostic radiology. A series of radiographs of mature Beagle dogs was used to identify motion within sagittal and transverse planes. Knowledge of the acceptable range of motion of the cervical spine of the dog is used in the radiographic diagnosis of both developmental and degenerative diseases.
