Facial Bone Projections Flashcards
For the lateral of the eye where would you center
outer canthus
true or false; there is an angle on the tube for the lateral eye
false, CR is perpendicular
PA Axial eye; what is the centering point
mid way in the orbit
PA Axial eye what baseline is perpendicular to the IR
OML
what is the CR angle
30 degrees caudal
PA Axial eye best demonstrates what
petrous portions of the the temporal bones below the inferior margin of the orbits
Modified Waters; centering point and CR angle
perpendicular to the midpoint of the orbit
what is the name for the parietoacanthial projection
modified waters
describe the baseline’s position for this projection
OML forms an angle 50 degrees to the IR
Lateral Facial Bones; which baseline is used for positioning
IOML
Later Facial Bones; centering and CR direction
perpendicular; entering the lateral surface of the zygomatic bone halfway between the outer canthus and the EAM
Waters Method; which baselines is used for positioning
OML forms a 37 degree angle with the IR; MML is perpendicular to IR
Waters Method; centering and CR direction
perpendicular to acanthion
Waters Method; structures shown
orbits, maxillae, zygomatic arches
Modified Waters Method; used for what
blowout fractures
Modified Waters Method; how is the baseline adjusted
OML forms a 55 degrees angle with the IR
Modified Waters Method; where are the petrous ridges
immediately below the inferior border of the orbits at a level midway through the maxillary sinus
Reverse Waters Method; why is it used
to show the facial bones when the patient cannot be placed in the prone position
Reverse Waters Method; how are the baselines positioned
OML forms a 37 degree angle with the IR
MML is perpendicular to the IR
Reverse Waters Method; centering and CR angle
perpendicular to enter the acanthion
Reverse Waters Method; structures shown
superior facial bones
PA Axial Caldwell; how are the baselines positioned
OML is perpendicular to the IR
PA Axial Caldwell; centering and CR direction
15 degrees cauded to the nasion
PA Axial Caldwell; to show the orbital rims and floors how would you angle the tube and what is it referred to as
30 degrees cadual referred to as the exaggerated Caldwell
