Features of the Cervical Spine Dorsal Spinous Process
Features of the Cervical Spine Transverse Process
Features of the Cervical Spine Caudal Articular Process C5
Features of the Cervical Spine Cranial Articular Process C6
Features of the Cervical Spine Synovial Joint at C5-6
C5 C6 C7 Ventral Process of C6 • Large lamina ventral to the transverse process of C6
C2 C3 C4 C5 Disc space at C 2-3 • The disc space at C 2-3 is normally narrowed compared to other disc spaces
Other normally Narrowed Disc Spaces • C7T1 • T10-11
C5 C7 C6 Dorsal Spinous Process C7 • The dorsal spinous process of C7 is larger than other cervical vertebrae
Location of Rib Articulation • The ribs articulate with the cranial aspect of the corresponding numbered vertebral body
Location of Rib Articulation • The ribs articulate with the cranial aspect of the corresponding numbered vertebral body Articulation T13 L1 L2 T12 13th Ribs
Anticlinal Vertebra T11 • The anticlincal vertebra is useful to determine vertebral body number
Anticlinal Vertebra T11 • Dorsal spinous process is straight up. T10 T11 T12
Anticlinal Vertebra T11 • Note the change in appearance of the dorsal facets at T10-11 vs T9-10 T13 T12 T11 T10
Anticlinal Vertebra T11 • The facet between T9-10 has a thin slit like appearance. T13 T12 T11 T10 T9
Anticlinal Vertebra T11 • The facet between T10-11 is the first to have a large bulb like articular process T13 T12 T11 T10
Features of the Thoracic Spine Cranial Costal Fovea
Features of the Thoracic Spine Head of the right 13th rib
Features of the Thoracic Spine Intercapital Ligament Runs From Rib Head to Rib Head
Features of the Thoracic Spine Notice the location of the intercapital ligament is superimposed overthe vertebral body at these sites
Features of the Thoracic Spine Notice the location of the intercapital ligament is superimposed overthe IV disc The intercapital ligament provides additional support which makes thoracic disc herniation rare at this disc spaces and all thoracic disc spaces from here cranially.

Features of the Lumbar Spine Caudal Articular Process of L2
Features of the Lumbar Spine Cranial Articular Process of L3
Features of the Lumbar Spine Synovial Joint of L2-3
Transverse process confused as mineralized disc • The transverse process overlay the disc spaces giving the appearance of increased opacity in the disc
Accessory Process • The accessory process overlay the intervertebral foramen and insults in increased opacity within the neurocanal
