title: Cervical Vertebral Trauma: Plain Film Approach.
abstract: The plain film assessment of cervical vertebral trauma remains a cornerstone of emergency radiology. An understanding of proper film technique, as well as a familiarity with the significant signs of cervical column injury will enable the radiologist to interpret the radiograph accurately. If further imaging studies are warranted, accurate interpretation of the plain films will insure that the proper study is obtained.
