Cervical Spine Trauma Video
Introduction to CT imaging of cervical spine trauma, focusing on the craniocervical junction. This video covers:
- The bony and ligamentous anatomy of the atlanto-axial and atlanto-occipital joints
- Atlanto-occipital dislocation
- Occipital condyle, C1 burst, and odontoid fractures.
