Neck X-Ray Reporting

Neck X-ray refers to the imaging and diagnosis of organs, skeletal regions, and supporting structures within the neck. This procedure is excellent for detecting traumatic and injury-related abnormalities. Neck x-ray reporting consists of services offering remote interpretation and analysis by radiologists specializing in the disorders and complications of the neck region. Using such services, healthcare providers can make better informed and quicker medical decisions.

What Does Neck X-Ray Reporting Cover?

Cervical Spine:

The cervical region observed by the neck x-ray consists of the C1-C7 vertebral bodies and intervertebral discs. Complications arising in this region can result in misalignment (subluxation, dislocation), fracture (vertebral body, spinous process, odontoid), disc space narrowing, bone spurs/osteophytes, and instability. These complications can be easily observed using a neck x-ray.

Airway Structures:

The airway structures are made up of the nasopharynx, oropharynx, hypopharynx, larynx, and trachea. These structures directly affect breathing, and abnormalities in airway structures can directly interfere with breathing. Examples of such abnormalities are airway constriction, obstruction, foreign bodies, or structural shifts can be observed using neck x-rays.

Thyroid and Parathyroid Glands:

Thyroid and parathyroid endocrine glands in the neck are crucial for the body's metabolism. These glands can undergo complications like thyroid enlargement, mass, goiter, and airway shift. These issues can be detected by neck x-ray for timely treatment.

Workflow

When the patient arrives at the healthcare unit with a neck-related complaint, a consulting physician attends to the patient.

The clinician records their signs and symptoms, clinical history, present or past medication, etc.

Based on the patient's condition, a radiological imaging test is assigned to the patient (in this case, the selected modality is neck x-ray).

The next x-ray is performed at the hospital by an on-site technician.

After the x-ray images are obtained, they are quality-checked and sent to Statim Healthcare along with other patient data.

At Statim Healthcare, the case is assigned to a suitable radiologist.

They thoroughly review and analyze the x-rays for abnormalities, correlating the patient data with the findings.

A final report is made encompassing the x-ray observations and findings, which is electronically signed by the radiologist.

The reports are sent to the healthcare institution using PACS/RIS or a secure email system.
