When neck pain occurs, it is common to go to the hospital to have a front and side X-ray of the cervical spine taken for an initial diagnosis. The cost of a cervical spine X-ray varies slightly depending on the equipment used, the economic conditions of the area, and the level of the hospital, but the difference will not be significant, and will generally range from a few dozen dollars to more than$100. If a cervical spine X-ray is taken in a local hospital using a domestic ordinary X-ray machine, the cost will be about 50-80 dollars. If an imported X-ray machine is used in a municipal tertiary hospital to take a cervical spine frontal and lateral CR or DR X-ray, the cost will be slightly higher, around$100-150. Overall, the better the equipment used to take the cervical spine frontal and lateral X-rays, the higher the cost will be, but the display will be equally increased.
