Abstract
The objective of this study was the validation of a CT multiprojection scout view method for the evaluation of cervical spine integrity in severely head-injured patients. Following brain CT, 130 consecutive patients underwent anteroposterior, laterolateral, and 45 degrees right and left oblique scout views of the cervical spine. The method allowed direct and prompt detection of traumatic lesions of the cervical spine in ten cases without moving the patients from the scanner table.
