Book Neck (Soft Tissue) X-ray Near Me

What is a Neck X-Ray for Soft Tissue?

Cervical Spine X-ray, also known as C-Spine or Neck X-Ray may be performed to evaluate the structure of bones and soft tissues in the cervical spine area. This includes the seven bones of your neck that surround and protect the top section of your spinal cord. Soft tissues are less dense than bones, which means more radiation can pass through them. These structures will appear dark gray on the X-ray image.
Soft tissues include:
  • blood vessels
  • skin
  • fat
  • muscles

Who should get this test?

Your doctor may order a Neck Soft Tissue X-ray image for the following:
  • fractured or broken bones
  • swelling in or near your trachea
  • thinning of your neck bones due to osteoporosis
  • bone tumors or cysts
  • chronic wear on the disks and joints of your neck, which is called cervical spondylosis
  • joints that are pushed out of their normal positions, which are called dislocations
  • abnormal growths on the bones, which are called bone spurs
  • spinal deformities
  • swelling around the vocal cords, which is called croup
  • inflammation of the epiglottis, which is called epiglottitis
  • a foreign object that is lodged in your throat or airway
  • enlarged tonsils and adenoids
