Abstrak

Spinal cord trauma is injury to the spine, either directly or indirectly, which can cause lesions in the  spinal cord, resulting in neurological disorders, disability and even death. When applied in one of the  pathologies, namely spinal cord trauma, CT-Scan can see an anatomical picture of the head in axial  slices and the image can be reformatted into 3 dimensions to see the skull bones more clearly without  being obstructed by the surrounding tissue. In this research, the author wants to know the procedure for  carrying out CT-Scan examination techniques of the head with clinical suspicion of spinal cord trauma. This research used descriptive method by observation of the patient in Awal Bros Panam. In conclusion,  in the 3D CT-Scan examination procedure of facial bones at the Awal Bros Panam Hospital with the  theory contained in the book "CT Scan and MRI Radiology Protocol" written by Sigit (2016), there is a  slight difference between theory and practice. However, it does not really affect the results of the 3D  CT-Scan image of the facial bones, and the doctor can make a good diagnosis.
