Abstract: Objective The correlation analysis was proceeded between youth cervical hook and transverse foramen by using imaging scanning and three-dimensional reconstruction method,which can provide theoretical basis for early diagnosis,treatment and prevention of ju-venile cervical spondylosis.Methods A total of 66 teenagers who had no trauma,neurological symptoms or signs were selected with aged from 6 to 20 years old,who were scanned by multi slice spiral CT,ranged from C1 to T1 .The original data in DICOMformat to import 3D re-construction software was related index measurement and subsequent statistical analysis.Results There was a correlation between hook height,base width,base length of luschca joint and transverse diameter,longitudinal diameter.Conclusion Hook vertebral meridian of lus-chca joint and transverse foramen has a close contact.Factors such as fracture and hyperplasia of luschca joint,vertebral artery of transverseforamen can be oppressed that cause corresponding vertebral artery type of cervical spondylosis.
