Radiologic examination, spine, cervical; 2 or 3 views

AI EXPLANATION: A neck X-ray, medically referred to as a cervical spine X-ray, is an imaging examination that captures two or three pictures of the bones in the neck. It uses a small amount of radiation to view the cervical vertebrae, helping healthcare providers evaluate spinal alignment, check for fractures or injuries, and look for signs of wear or inflammation.
