What is a X Ray Odantoid Process Test in Visit Clinic?
An X-ray of the odontoid process creates a focused image of the dens, the bony peg on the second neck vertebra (C2). It shows bone shape, alignment, and breaks. This area is vital because it helps the head turn and protects the spinal cord. Doctors use this X-ray to find fractures, dislocations, arthritis-related changes, infections, or congenital differences. It is commonly used after trauma, when there is neck pain, or before spine surgery. The results help guide urgent treatment, immobilization, or further imaging like CT or MRI if more detail is needed.
