The Canadian C-Spine Rule for Radiography in Alert and Stable Trauma Patients
JAMA 286:1841-1848, Stiell,I.G.,et al, 2001
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We have derived the Canadian C-Spine Rule, a highly sensitive decision rule for use of C-spine radiography in alert and stable trauma patients. If prospectively validated in other cohorts, this rule has the potential to significantly reduce practice variation and inefficiency in ED use of C-spine radiography.
