Cervical Spine - Video Lesson

In this view, we will be demonstrating an AP axial view of the cervical spine. The AP axial cervical spine should be performed with the patient standing at the upright buccy or lying on the table with a forty inch source to image distance and a fifteen to twenty degree cephalic tube angulation. We're gonna add a fifteen cephalic angle. We're gonna center at C4 in the mid sagittal plane. We're gonna leave the collimation open lengthwise Colimate from side to side with a right marker over here. We're centered to the IR. We have a fifteen degree cephalic angle centered at C4. Just relax your hands for me. And the patient will hold very still.
