Article Synopsis
- A retrospective cohort study was conducted at a Level 1 trauma center to evaluate the difference in measuring the anterior-posterior diameter of the cervical central canal using fixed versus adjustable imaging techniques.
- The study involved measuring 33 head trauma patients' cervical canal diameters across levels C2-T1 and found that fixed scout lines often inaccurately represented the canal due to the oblique imaging generated, leading to underestimations or overestimations of diameter.
- Results indicated significant variability between measurements obtained from fixed and adjustable scout lines, particularly at different cervical spine levels, showing that the choice of scout line can affect clinical assessment of neural compression.
