Spine bone anatomy

Cervical spine

C1 Vertebra
Photogrammetry scan of the C1 vertebrae anatomy.
Annotations Transverse process, Transverse foramen, Lateral mass, Superior articular surface, Inferior articular surface, Posterior arch, Anterior arch, Groove for the vertebral artery, Anterior tubercle, Posterior tubercle, Anterior root, Posterior root
C2 Vertebra
Photogrammetry scan of the C2 vertebrae anatomy.
Annotations Dens, Anterior articular surface of dens, Body, Lateral mass, Inferior articular surface, Spinous process, Pedicle, Transverse foramen, Anterior root, Posterior root, Superior articular surface, Lamina
Cervical C3-C6 Vertebrae
Photogrammetry scan of C3-C6 verbral anatomy.
Annotations Transverse process, Transverse foramen, Vertebral body, Pedicle, Groove of the spinal nerve, Superior articular surface, Lamina, Inferior articular surface, Spinous process, Anterior root, Posterior root, Anterior tubercle, Posterior tubercle, Costotransverse bar, Uncinate process
C7 Vertebrae
Photogrammetry scan of C7 vertebra.
Annotations Spinous process, Vertebral body, Lamina, Pedicle, Groove for the spinal nerve, Transverse process, Superior articular surface, Anterior articular surface
C1-C2 Vertebral artery
In neutral position, the vertical and horizontal portions of the V3 segment of the vertebral artery are perpendicular. After the head is rotated to contralateral side and extended (as required by the anterolateral approach) both segments are stretched and run parallel, only separated by the groove of the posterior arch of the atlas.
Annotations Vertebral artery - horizontal segment, Vertebral artery - vertical segment
Cervical and Thoracic Spine
Phtogrammetry scan of the thoracic and cervical spine antomy.
Annotations Body of C6, Transverse foramen, Lamina of C6, Spinous process, Superior articular process, Inferior articular process, Atlas, Dens axis, Costal facet, Transverse process
Cervical Segement subaxial spine
C3-C7
