Exam- CT Cervical Spine WO Contrast

 

Study- Ct Cervical Spine WO Contrast

History-Injury to neck. MVA

Axial unenhanced CT images of the cervical spine were obtained, no comparison images are available.  There are 7 cervical type vertebral bodies which are maintained in height. There is reversal of the normal cervical lordosis. Posterior elements are intact. Atlantoaxial and atlantooccipal articulations are maintained. There is some rotation at the C1-C2 articulation which limits evaluation but it within normal limits.

Impression- No acute traumatic abnormality of the cervical spine.

 

I agree with the above findings-
