The accuracy of plain radiography in cervical spine injury

Computed tomography versus plain radiography to screen for cervical spine injury: a meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND To compare the test performance of plain radiography and computed tomography (CT) in the detection of patients with cervical spine injuries following blunt traumatic events among those patients determined to require screening radiography. METHODS We conducted a MEDLINE search for articles published from January 1995 through June 2004, manually reviewed bibliographies, and hand sear...
