The cervical spine is the first part of the vertebral column: it consists of 7 vertebrae and on the sagittal plane presents a lordosis curve which varies in relation to the position of the head and to modifications of the other curves of the spine. Radiological imaging, in particular conventional radiography and magnetic resonance (MRI), can be used to visualize and evaluate the different segments of the cervical spine, identifying the causes of the different clinical presentations.
