Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The AP oblique projection of the cervical spine with the side of interest closest to the IR will demonstrate the intervertebral foramina farther away from the IR. This projection is specifically called the "AP oblique with the foramen closest to the IR" or "AP oblique with the intervertebral foramen open" projection. It is useful for evaluating the intervertebral foramina and nerve roots on the side of interest.
