Odontoid fractures are the most common fracture of the axis and the most common cervical
spine fracture in patients over 65. Despite their frequency, there is considerable ambiguity …

Imaging with computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging is fundamental to the
evaluation of traumatic spinal injury. Specifically, neuroradiologic techniques show the exact …

Background Few bony injuries and most soft tissue injuries cannot be detected on plain
radiography. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can detect such occult bony injuries due to …

The craniocervical junction (CCJ) or upper cervical spine (UCS) has anatomic features and
a biomechanics completely different from the other spinal segment of the spine. Several …

With the aging of the world's population, the frequency of type II odontoid fractures will
inevitably increase. Although multiple treatment options exist for these patients, morbidity …

OBJECTIVE Posterior C1–2 fixation without fusion makes it possible to restore atlantoaxial
motion after removing the implant, and it has been used as an alternative technique for …

The diagnosis of cervical spine injury in the emergency department remains a critical skill of
emergency room physicians as well as radiologists. Such diagnoses are often associated …

The first-line imaging evaluation of traumatic spine injury is computed tomography (CT). MRI
offers complementary information through direct assessment of soft tissue injury to the disks …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Acute C1–C2 fractures are difficult to detect on MR
imaging due to a paucity of associated bone marrow edema. The purpose of this study was …

Purpose The purpose of this study is to utilize a two-material decomposition to quantify bone
marrow edema on a dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) scanner at the cervical …
