Pathway Overview
Audio transcript

This learning pathway has an interesting origin story. I invited Matt Skalski to record a cervical spine x-ray lecture for our Radiopaedia Virtual Conference and when he sent me back his 85 minute recorded lecture I was blown away by how engaging and detailed it was, and also by how beautifully it was illustrated. I really felt like it was too good to be just another lecture. So after the conference I asked Matt if he wouldn't mind if I converted it into an online course by breaking it down into a series of shorter videos and by pinning a series of cases, quizzes, articles and illustrations around it. And, well, this learning pathway is the result. I've been reporting cervical spine x-rays for many years and I still found that I learned lots of great new tips from Matt's lecture. The content is pitched at higher level than our existing upper limb x-ray learning pathways, and there is a bit of assumed knowledge, but with the addition of the related articles and annotated review cases it is probably fairly accessible to most learners. So, if you are keen to take your cervical spine x-ray interpretation stills to the next level, then please register and I'll guide you through Matt's great lecture.
