TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Section V. Cervical Spine Radiology A1 - Schwartz, David T. PY - 2008 T2 - Emergency Radiology: Case Studies AB - The diagnosis of cervical spine injuries presents a challenge in emergency practice. The anatomy of the cervical spine is complex, the spectrum of injuries is broad, and the consequences of injury, particularly spinal cord injury, can be devastating. Most serious cervical spine injuries are caused by high-energy forces. However, unstable injuries can occur following relatively minor trauma, such as a fall from a standing position, particularly in the elderly.
