The radiographic imaging of the spine course offers a comprehensive review of imaging techniques and radiographic positioning for different spine X-ray procedures. Chapter 1 focuses on the cervical and thoracic spine X-ray, providing insights into spine anatomy, standard precautions, clinical history documentation, and image quality factors. It also covers various spinal pathologies, including fractures, tumors, degenerative diseases like arthritis, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, infections, and other abnormalities seen in a cervicothoracic spine X-ray.

Chapter 2 extends this knowledge to the lumbar spine, sacroiliac joint, and scoliosis, emphasizing the same critical aspects of spine anatomy, precautions, history documentation, and image quality. This chapter also reviews similar pathologies seen in an SI joint, sacrum, coccyx, and lumbar spine X-ray, ensuring a well-rounded understanding of spine X-ray imaging and pathology.
