CT of the Cervical Spine: Anatomy

The images below are reconstructions obtained from a scan of the cervical spine. Each row of three thumbnails correspond to a given level and the green cross indicates the reference planes for each image of this Level.

Click each thumbnail to see the corresponding full-size version of the photo with captions. The large photo displays in the center of the page.
