Anatomy of a Cervical x-ray

Dr. Morton provides an in-depth tutorial on cervical x-ray anatomy, focusing on the lateral, anterior, and open-mouth views. The video covers the As, Bs, Cs, and Ds of interpreting x-rays, emphasizing the importance of understanding bony landmarks, atlanto-occipital alignment, and soft tissue spaces. The tutorial aims to enhance the viewer's ability to identify key anatomical features and assess alignment and spacing in cervical x-rays.

Explain the concept of soft tissue spaces in the prevertebral region.

What are the normal measurements for soft tissue spacing at C2 and C6?

How should the alignment of the cervical spine appear in an anterior view?

What is the significance of the distance between the dens and the lateral masses of C1?
