Whiplash Injuries

  • Chapter
Spinal Imaging

Part of the book series: Medical Radiology ((Med Radiol Diagn Imaging))

Abstract

Crowe (1928) first introduced the term “whiplash” to describe the manner in which the head is moved suddenly to produce a neck sprain. Gay and Abbot (1953) used it first in a medical journal. Since then, more than 10,000 papers have been published, and still there is a great focus on whiplash in the medical literature as well as in the newspapers. Whiplash presently has a much wider usage than only to describe an injury mechanism. It is used to describe the injury itself — whiplash injury; to describe the clinical manifestations of the injury — whiplash symptoms or syndrome; and even to name patients — whiplash patients.
