自体断层摄影术：一种改善上颈椎可视化的方法。

Radiology. 1977 Jun;123(3):800-1. doi: 10.1148/123.3.800.

Autotomography permits improved visualization of the atlas-axis and occipito-cervical articulations with virtually any x-ray equipment in less time than is required for anteroposterior and lateral tomograms. This technique is best applied in nontraumatic cases in which the dens is not seen clearly on the "open mouth view".

自体断层摄影术可使用几乎任何X光设备，比前后位和侧位断层摄影所需时间更短，从而更好地显示寰枢椎和枕颈关节。这项技术最适用于在“开口位”上齿状突显示不清的非创伤性病例。
