In review of the image, which accurately characterizes this AP axial c-spine?

the patient needs to extend the chin
the image correctly images C3-7
the patient needs to flex the chin
the image fails to show all 7 cervical vertebrae


the image correctly images C3-7

Rationale: The AP axial c-spine will require the central ray to be directed to C5 . The image will only reveal C3-7 due to the mandible and skull. C1 & 2 are viewed through the open mouth.
