Advanced craniofacial Flashcards
What bones are involved in the formation of the orbit?
7 bones in total 3 Cranial -Frontal -Sphenoid -Ethmoid 4 Facial -Maxilla -Zygoma -Lacrimal -Palatine
Orbits: Clinical Indications

- IPL perpendicular to IR
- IOML baseline
CR
- perpendicular to IR; directed to the outer cantheus
Lateral Orbits: Evaluation criteria
-Superimposed
orbital roofs
-Optimal density
Orbits Modified Caldwell (occipitofrontal) : technical factors
SID:
40in
IR:
8X10in
Exposure factors
70kV; 20mAs
Orbits mod. Caldwell: positioning and CR
positioning
- Patient is prone or erect
- OML perpendicular to IR
CR
-angled 30 degrees caudad
directed to exit at the nasion
orbits Mod. Caldwell: evaluation criteria
- petrous ridges projected below the inferior orbital margin
- entire orbit visualized
- no rotation as evident by the equidistance between the outer canthus and lateral aspect of the skull on both sides
- no tilt as evident by the orbits within the same horizontal plane
Orbits waters (mod. parieoacanthial): technical factors
SID:
40in
IR:
8X10in
Orbit Waters: positioning and CR
- The patient is prone or erect
- OML forms a 55 degree angle with IR
- LML perpendicular to IR
CR
perpendicular to IR; exit at acanthion
Waters Obrits: Evaluation Criteria
-Petrous ridges below orbital rims -Less distorted view of orbits -No rotation or tilt as evident by outer canthus to lateral border of skull + inferior margin of orbits
QEII routine for Orbits
