      • X-RAY CERVICAL SPINE EXTENSION VIEW

      Also Known As:

      C-Spine Dynamic Extension

      Backward Bending Neck X-Ray

      Stress Cervical X-Ray Extension

      Extension Profile C-Spine

      X-Ray Cervical Spine Extension View is a specialized X-ray imaging test used to evaluate the cervical spine (neck bones) while the neck is bent backward (extension position). This view helps doctors assess the stability, alignment, and movement of the cervical vertebrae during neck motion. It is commonly recommended in cases of neck pain, cervical spondylosis, suspected ligament injury, spinal instability, trauma, or restricted neck movement. The extension view is often taken along with flexion view to compare the movement of the cervical spine. The procedure is quick, painless, and usually completed within a few minutes.

      Includes 4 Test Parameters

    • Technique

      Lateral radiographic imaging performed while the neck is tilted backward in an extension position.

    • Purpose

      To evaluate the functional stability and movement of the cervical vertebrae and ligaments.

    • Area Covered

      The cervical spine (neck region).

    • Key Clinical Point

      Often compared with the flexion view to assess for hidden spinal instability.

      • Includes Test 5 Parameters

      It is an image taken while your neck is bent backward to check how the vertebrae move and align during motion.

      By bending the neck back, doctors can see if any vertebrae slide out of place, indicating ligament or joint instability.

      Yes, standard X-rays are static; extension views show how your spine behaves during actual movement.

      You should only bend as far as comfortable. Tell the technician if you feel sharp pain or dizziness.

      Extension refers to the act of tilting your head upward and backward, looking toward the ceiling.
