The Cervical Spine Osteology & Radiographic Technique

Master Cervical Spine Anatomy and Radiographic Technique
This in-depth PowerPoint presentation from RadGuide is designed to support radiography students, educators, and early-career radiographers in building a strong understanding of cervical spine anatomy and imaging. Combining osteological knowledge with practical radiographic technique, this resource helps learners visualize, position, and evaluate cervical spine images with confidence.

📘 What’s Inside:

🦴 Cervical Spine Osteology

• Clear breakdown of cervical vertebrae (C1–C7), including the atlas and axis

• Identification of key landmarks such as the dens, transverse foramina, vertebral bodies, and zygapophyseal joints

• Simplified diagrams and labelled visuals to support anatomical learning

📸 Radiographic Technique Guidance

• Standard projections covered: AP, lateral, odontoid (open mouth), swimmer’s view, and oblique

• Positioning instructions, centring points, beam angulation, and IR placement explained

• Clinical indications and image critique tips for accurate assessment

💡 Ideal For:

• Radiography students preparing for spine anatomy and technique modules

• Educators teaching musculoskeletal or spinal radiography

• Radiographers refreshing their knowledge of cervical imaging
