Bilateral oblique cervical spine X-ray (also known as 3/4 oblique X-ray) helps doctors diagnose diseases and injuries related to the cervical spine, such as cervical spondylosis or fractures.
The imaging procedure includes the following steps:
1. Preparation before imaging: instruct the patient to expose the neck area to be imaged and ask them to remove any jewelry on their neck.
2. Perform the imaging: the patient stands or sits in front of the film holder, keeping the same posture with the head tilted toward the X-ray beam at an angle of 15-20 degrees.
3. Evaluate the results: the film must be sharp, not scratched, and clearly show the cervical vertebrae from C1-C7 and the joint spaces.
