Abstract
In this chapter, we will describe some tips in the assessment of cervical spine imaging in patients presenting with neck pain and/or cervical radiculopathy. We will also detail imaging findings of cervical spondylotic myelopathy, cervical spondylotic radiculopathy, and cervical herniated intervertebral disks.
