A 27 yo woman has hit her neck in an RTA without complains of tingling or motor loss. What is
the next most appropriate inv?
a. MRI
b. XR

c. CT cervical
d. Diagonal XR

Ans. The key is B. X-ray. [As there is no neurological deficit we can exclude any fracture by x-ray first].
[Diagonal x ray means ,oblique view of cervical spine. By this view we can assess facet joint arthopathy.
This doesn’t related to RTA].
