AbstractApproximately 2% to 3% of blunt trauma victims suffer injury to the spinal column each year, often with devastating consequences. This article discusses clinical criteria for screening for spinal injury and the increasing roles of multidetector CT and MR imaging in the evaluation of spinal trauma. Both CT and MR imaging safety issues also are addressed. Lastly, the role of imaging in the evaluation of whiplash injury, instability, vascular injury, and delayed traumatic sequelae is discussed.
