The radiologic study of the normal spine: cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacral.
The goal of this discussion is to provide the radiologist with a complete and systematic method of evaluating each area of the spine, and to provide him with anatomically correlated information to assist in the identification of the individual portions of the neural arch on each projection. Photographs of anatomic specimens, wired spine specimens, and appropriate radiographs of each view of the spine are presented.
