X-ray C V Junction-Lateral

What is an X-ray C V Junction-Lateral Test?

C1-C2 X-rays visualize the upper cervical spine, particularly the C1 and C2 vertebrae and the surrounding soft tissues (skin and muscles). Cervical vertebral pain can range from a subtle ache to severe, scorching pain in the neck. C1-C2 pain may remain for a brief period or become chronic.

The physician suggests using this test to diagnose C1 vertebra (C1 Burst Fracture) and C2 vertebra fractures (C2 Odontoid Fracture).

Why is it done? 

• To identify a C1 vertebral fracture (C1 burst fracture)
• To identify a C2 vertebral fracture (C2 Odontoid Fracture).
• To identify ligament damage surrounding the vertebra.
