Cervical Spine
100
Spondylolysis is a defect that occurs in on this anatomical part of the spine
What is the Pars Interarticularsis
100
This is how depressed fractures of the skull occur
What is direct blow to a small surface area? (such as baseball bat to the head)
100
The etiology of acute periostitis.
What is infection (UTI, STD, bacterial, etc.)
100
Comminuted or burst fractures of C1 are also known as this.
What are Jefferson fractures?
200
This radiographic appearance demonstrates spondylolysis on oblique lumbar spine images
What is the "broken neck of the Scotty dog"-pars interarticularis?
200
This treatment is required for the fracture seen here:
What is surgical plating (depressed fracture of zygomatic arch)
200
This is also known as "bamboo spine"
What is ankylosing spondylitis?
200
This is how C2 injuries tend to occur.
What are severe flexion or extension forces.
300
Hyperflexion injuries cause this type of spine fracture
What is an anterior wedge fracture
300
The type of fracture seen here:
What is a blow out fracture?
300
This alternative imaging to conventional x-ray is used for screening for osteoporosis
What is DEXA bone densitometry?
300
These 2 views best demonstrate fractures that affect the odontoid process.
What are the lateral and AP open mouth projections?
400
What is the mechanism of injury for a "clay shovellers" fracture?
What is Rotational Trauma (specifically body rotation compared to neck/head)
400
Concussion is demonstrated on imaging in this way.
What is concussion does not present on imaging.
400
This is a key radiographic appearance to rheumatoid arthritis.
What is rarefaction (dense cortex of bone compared to less dense of medullary cavity)
400
The pathology seen on these images. 
What are facet locks? (SP not in straight line), anterior displacement of spine)
500
This "column" of the the three spine columns determines stable versus unstable fractures?
What is the middle column (if intact the fracture is stable, if not, unstable)
500
"Bruised" brain tissue is also known as this
What is cerebral contusions?
500
This type of fracture may develop due to severe osteoporosis.
What is a wedge/compression fracture?
500
This anatomical area is being disrupted by the fracture line seen on this image.
What are the pedicles? (Hangman's fracture demonstrates fracture line through pedicle)
