Orthopantomography of the cervical spine.
The authors describe the application of orthopantomography to study of the intervertebral foramina of the cervical spine in patients with cervical spondylosis. Other structures such as the lateral mass of the cervical spine can be studied by altering the speed of the rotating film holder, which in two changes the width of the arch of the focal layer.
