The open mouth impact allows the study of the atlas (C1) and axis (C2), with the lateral masses of the atlas, the dens of the axis and atlanto-occipital and atlanto-axial joints.An impact of three-quarters allows to view the intervertebral foramen between each cervical vertebra and the upper and lower vertebral clefts.Followed by two dynamic views of the cervical spine, detailing the curvature of the spine as well as the more visible anatomical structures in profile (spinous process, epiphyseal ring, dens axis, anterior arch of the atlas, posterior tubercle.).Spine - Cervical vertebrae - Radiographs : Atlas, Axis, Dens of axis 2 radiographs of the cervical spine (front and profile view) detail the cervical vertebrae: bony structures (vertebral body, uncus, transverse, spinous and articular processes, pedicle.) and the various joints (atlanto-occipital, facet and costovertebral joints.2 plates of entire spinal column, in front and profile impacts, allowing the spinal vertebrae to be numbered and showing the physiological curvatures (cervical lordosis, thoracic kyphosis, lumbar lordosis, sacral kyphosis (sacral)).Īnatomy - Vertebral column - Anterior-posterior full-length view of the spine/Lateral full-length view of the spine : Spine, Primary curvature, Thoracic kyphosis, Sacral kyphosis, Secondary curvatures, Cervical lordosis, Lumbar lordosis, Scoliosis, Vertebra.It is particularly useful for radiologists, electroradiology students, emergency physicians, orthopedic surgeons and rheumatologists, but may be used as a daily or a teaching support for any practitioner, physician or student involved in the musculoskeletal pathology of the spine (spinal disc herniation, osteoporosis, vertebral compression, spinal trauma, sciatica.)ġ8 radiographic plates most commonly used in medical practice were selected, covering the whole of the spinal column:Ĭervical vertebrae - Radiographs : Zygapophysial joints, Uncus of body Uncinate process, Transverse process, Superior articular process This radioanatomy module of the spinal column presents 18 conventional radiographs of the spine with 192 anatomical structures labeled.
