[Imaging evaluation of cervical spine trauma].
Evaluation and treatment of patients with suspected cervical vertebral trauma requires close cooperation between multiple medical disciplines. Recognition of the significant signs of cervical spine injury enables accurate interpretation of the radiograph, and if necessary adequate selection of the best imaging method for further evaluation. When judiciously selected, these imaging techniques result in the expeditious gathering of the diagnostic information required for the management of the traumatized patient.
