CT UNCOVERTEBRAL JOINT DEGENERATION CERVICAL SPINE

FROM TODAY'S REPORTING

CERVICAL UNCOVERTEBRAL JOINT DEGENERATION
CORONAL CT

 

Demonstration reduction in joint space and significant subcortical sclerosis (Pink arrow) in the uncovertebral joint. Compare with normal contralateral uncovertebral joint where joint space is preserved and no sclerosis.

 

Uncovertebral joints best appreciated on coronal scans but osteophytes arising from them and narrowing the foramen best seen on sagittal scans.

We look at all of these topics in more detail in our Guided SPINE & SIJ Imaging Mini Fellowships.
