Cervical Spine X-Ray Image - Normal Anatomy and Clinical Use #3891239 (License: Personal Use)

This radiograph displays the cervical spine in lateral projection, clearly visualizing the C1-C7 vertebrae, intervertebral disc spaces, spinous processes, and the anterior/posterior vertebral body margins. The image also includes the occipital condyles, mandible, and a radiopaque dental appliance, suggesting the patient was imaged with oral hardware present. Soft tissue shadows outline the prevertebral space and airway.

Commonly used in emergency departments, orthopedics, and neurology for evaluating neck trauma, spondylosis, disc herniation, or congenital anomalies; supports clinical decision-making when symptoms include neck pain, radiculopathy, or post-injury assessment.
