[Pitfalls and special features of modern imaging diagnostics of the upper cervical spine]
Abstract
Recent technical developments led to a change in the significance of the different imaging modalities in the whole spectrum of neuroradiology and thus also in the field of imaging of the cervical spine. The main part in diagnostic imaging of the upper cervical spine is taken by high-resolution multislice CT and MRI. Conventional X-rays serve as an initial screening technique if required.
