Abstract

Spine injuries developing through a traumatic process represent a problematic and crucial diagnostic and medical care dilemma that should be diagnosed correctly and done rapidly to rule out proper treatment decisions. Imaging procedures are of paramount importance in appraising the intensity and degree of spinal injuries, which are mainly to diagnose them, prepare a treatment plan, and predict the result. This essay outlines the types of imaging techniques that are primarily applied in evaluating spine injuries caused by trauma, including X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, and advanced imaging methods. The strengths and shortcomings of the used imaging are pointed out, and the applicability of each in various client cases is highlighted. Also, guidelines for selecting the best imaging techniques and accuracy for diagnosis are proposed to help the management of traumatic spine injuries for a better outcome in patients.
