Imaging of injuries of the cervical spine has undergone substantial changes in the past 10 years. The use of CT and MR imaging has been emphasized by many authors. Other studies have stressed the proper use and interpretation of plain radiographs in the emergency setting. There is confusion about whether plain films, CT, or MR imaging is best used to evaluate specific injuries. This review explores the usefulness of CT and MR imaging in the diagnosis and management of acute injuries of the cervical spine and emphasizes the continued importance of conventional radiography. Specific examples that illustrate the relative merits of plain radiography, CT, and MR imaging are shown.
在过去十年中，颈椎损伤的影像学检查发生了重大变化。许多作者都强调了CT和磁共振成像（MR成像）的应用。其他研究则强调了在急诊情况下普通X线片的正确使用和解读。对于普通X线片、CT或MR成像哪种最适合用于评估特定损伤存在困惑。本综述探讨了CT和MR成像在颈椎急性损伤诊断和管理中的作用，并强调了传统放射学的持续重要性。文中展示了说明普通X线摄影、CT和MR成像相对优点的具体实例。
