Spinal computed tomography scanning was performed in five patients with different types of cervical fractures. Computed tomography scanning was superior to plain x-ray studies in determining the narrowing of the spinal canal by bone fragments or soft tissues and in determining the involvement of the intervertebral joints. The value of computed tomography was clearly demonstrated in scanning those regions that are difficult to be examined by conventional radiologic methods. A disadvantage of computed tomography scanning is the impossibility of functional diagnostic investigations and examinations after surgery of patients who underwent stabilization with plates and wires.
对5例不同类型颈椎骨折患者进行了脊柱计算机断层扫描。在确定骨碎片或软组织导致的椎管狭窄以及确定椎间关节受累情况方面，计算机断层扫描优于普通X线检查。在扫描那些传统放射学方法难以检查的区域时，计算机断层扫描的价值得到了明确体现。计算机断层扫描的一个缺点是，对于接受钢板和钢丝固定手术的患者，术后无法进行功能诊断性检查。
