[Imaging work-up for recent spinal trauma].
We focus on the current role of the different imaging techniques used for the work-up of recent spinal trauma. We detail the different imaging modalities and discuss their respective strengths and weaknesses. We summarize the scope of lesions involved, including bony, ligamentous, vascular and nervous injuries. The review ends with proposed diagnostic strategies based on these different elements.
