Choice of modality
In neck trauma, a normal clinical evaluation may clear the neck without diagnostic imaging, such as using the the Canadian C-spine rule.[1] When imaging is indicated, recommendations differ somewhat between children and adults:
- In children, CT of the neck in trauma is indicated in more severe cases such as neurologic deficits, whereas X-ray of the cervical spine is preferable in milder cases, by both US[2] and UK[3] guidelines. Swedish guidelines recommend CT rather than X-ray in all children over the age of 5.[4] It is thus reasonable to indicate CT by a combination of higher severity and older age.
- In adults, UK guidelines are largely similar as in children.[3] US guidelines, on the other hand, recommend CT of the neck in trauma in all cases where medical imaging is indicated, and that X-ray of the cervical spine is only acceptable where CT is not readily available.[5]
