Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Twining method, or lateral cervicothoracic projection, is designed to visualize the lower cervical and upper thoracic vertebrae. It accurately demonstrates superimposed right and left articular pillars, open intervertebral disk spaces, and the fifth through seventh cervical and first through third thoracic vertebrae. It does not cause distorted vertebral bodies; instead, it aims to clearly depict these anatomical structures.
