Structured CT Interpretation of Craniocervical Junction Trauma: A Pattern-Based Video Overview

This educational video from AJNR presents a pattern-based CT approach to osseous trauma at the craniocervical junction, helping radiology residents and early-career neuroradiologists recognize occipital condyle, atlas, odontoid, and axis fractures through multiplanar imaging and…

• Video article designed for radiology residents and early-career neuroradiologists, covering pattern recognition of common CCJ injuries.
• Demonstrates multiplanar CT appearances of craniocervical dissociation, occipital condyle fractures, atlas fractures, odontoid fractures, and axis spondylolysis, supplemented with 3D models and educational illustrations.
• Provides a practical framework for evaluating high-energy cervical trauma, emphasizing accuracy and anatomical clarity—no original research data are presented.
