Acute Whiplash Injury:Is There a Role for MR Imaging? A Prospective Study of 100 Patients Radiology 201:93-96, Ronnen,H.R.,et al, 1996 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract There is no role for MR imaging in the routine workup of patients with acute whiplash injury who have normal plain radiographic findings and no evidence of a neurologic deficit.A kyphotic angle seen on functional images of the cervical spine should not be assumed to indicate soft tissue injury and is most likely attributable to a compensating mechanism of hypermobility at a level of the spine above that at which hypomobility occurs which is probably the result of a muscle spasm.
