TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Chapter 3. Imaging of the Cervical Spine and Temporomandibular Joint A1 - Malone, Terry R. A1 - Hazle, Charles A1 - Grey, Michael L. Y1 - 2008 N1 - T2 - Imaging in Rehabilitation AB - Diagnostic imaging assessment of the cervical spine is a challenge for even the experienced radiologist or practitioner. Patients may present with a broad spectrum of pathologies, including potentially catastrophic injuries requiring considerable interpretive prowess. While typical imaging modality use may identify most of the pathologies with which patients will present, particular attention to detail and use of multiple procedures may be required to identify complex or occult injuries. The ideal imaging tool would have perfect sensitivity and specificity to simplify this process, but no singularly superior diagnostic imaging tool exists. Rather, reasoning based on the patient history and most likely clinical scenarios dictate the decision making as to the diagnostic test of first choice and perhaps subsequently.
