A member asked:
Is an x-ray the most definitive way for an orthopedic surgeon to view the degree of spinal stenosis at c1, 2, 3? if not, what else is out there?

No: No. Both an MRI and a ct scan are much more accurate in determining the degree of spinal stenosis than an x-ray. Thank you for your question.

No: Prob. The most definitive way to ascertain the degree of spinal stenosis in the cervical spine is by ct scan.
