The Cervical Spine AP/Lateral Oblique (CERALO) test is a series of X-rays (Anteroposterior, Lateral, and Oblique views) to get a complete, multi-angle picture of your neck’s seven vertebrae (C1-C7), helping doctors diagnose fractures, disc issues, arthritis, misalignments, and soft tissue problems, revealing bone structure, disc spaces, and spinal alignment. Oblique views are crucial for better visualization of bony structures like facet joints and intervertebral foramina, which standard views might miss, providing a comprehensive assessment for neck pain, injury, or instability
