To assess whether there is a difference between measurements of odontoid incidence (OI) and other cervical sagittal parameters by X-ray radiography and those by supine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Standing X-ray and supine MRI images of 42 healthy subjects were retrospectively analyzed. Surgima...
