Dynamic imaging

Dynamic imaging
Lateral flexion–extension radiographs of  the cervical spine should not be undertaken acutely , although they can have a role in assessing spinal stability in the longer term.

Diagnostic imaging of spinal injuries /uni25CF /uni25CF
Clear visualisation of the cervicothoracic junction is mandatory
Plain cervical spine radiographs fail to identity 15% of injuries
