EXERCISE 2: WHAT STRUCTURE IS THIS?
++
Exercise 2 Objective: Teach the user to recognize radiographic anatomy on the normal radiographs of the routine evaluation of the cervical spine.
++
Exercise type: 2: What Structure is This?
++
Instruction: User will look at the highlighted structure and identify it from a list of five possibilities.
++
View: Anteroposterior Open-Mouth Cervical Spine
