CSPINE (Correlating Soft tissue Projections in Injured NEcks) A descriptive study on measuring prevertebral soft tissue thickness as a ratio of vertebral body width in paediatric cervical spine trauma

Background: In paediatric trauma, measured increase in prevertebral soft tissue thickness on a lateral cervical spine (C-spine) X-ray is interpreted as swelling, raising suspicion of C-spine injury1,2 .
