总结
由于颈椎的解剖结构复杂，且椎骨两侧的骨质结构重叠，因此颈椎X线片的判读具有挑战性。本报告描述了调查颈部疼痛的纯种阉马后，创伤性下降。几种成像方式被用来证明存在的第四颈椎（C4）的左颅关节突骨折，包括核螺旋造影，超声检查，斜位放射线投影和一种新的电影放射摄影技术。斜位X线片在诊断和监测关节突骨折愈合进展方面均上级标准侧位X线片。
Summary
Interpretation of cervical radiographs can be challenging due to the complex anatomy and superimposition of osseous structures on either side of the vertebrae. This report describes the investigation of neck pain in a Thoroughbred gelding following a traumatic fall. Several imaging modalities were used to demonstrate the presence of a fracture of the left cranial articular process of the fourth cervical vertebra (C4), including nuclear scintigraphy, ultrasonography, oblique radiographic projections and a novel cineradiographic technique. Oblique radiographs were superior to standard lateral-lateral radiographs in both the diagnosis and for monitoring the progression of healing of the articular process fracture in this case.
