Which position projection of the cervical spine will best demonstrate the Zygapophyseal joint space between C1 and C2?Cervical & Thoracic Spine. Show
Which position or projection of the cervical spine best demonstrates the zygapophyseal joints?Cervical, Thoracic and Lumbar Spine Joints and Foramina Positioning. Which view demonstrates the cervical zygapophyseal joints?Cervical articular facets (forming zygapophyseal joints) are 90° to the midsagittal plane and are therefore well demonstrated in the lateral projection.
What projection shows the zygapophyseal joints?The zygapophyseal facet joints of the second through seventh cervical vertebrae lie at right angles to the midsagittal plane and are clearly shown in a lateral projection (Fig. 8-10, A).
