Positioning for Facial Bones Flashcards
Essential Projections: Facial Bones
Lateral
Parietoacanthial (Waters method)
Acanthioparietal (reverse Waters method)
Posteroanterior (PA) axial (Caldwell method)
how is the MSP for Lateral facial bones
MSP of head parallel with image receptor (IR)
how is the IPL in the lateral facial bones
Interpupillary line (IPL) perpendicular to IR
How is the IOML for in the lateral facial bones
Infraorbitomeatal line (IOML) perpendicular to front edge of IR
CR for lateral facial bones
Perpendicular to IR center
Enters patient on lateral surface of zygomatic bone halfway between outer canthus and external acoustic meatus (EAM)
part position for Parietoacanthial (Waters) Facial Bones
Rest head on tip of extended chin
how is the OML in the Parietoacanthial (Waters) Facial Bones
Place orbitomeatal line (OML) to form 37-degree angle with plane of IR
how is the MML in the Parietoacanthial (Waters) Facial Bones
Mentomeatal line (MML) perpendicular to IR
how is the MSP in the Parietoacanthial (Waters) Facial Bones
MSP perpendicular to IR
what do you center the IR to in the Parietoacanthial (Waters) Facial Bones
Center IR to level of acanthion
CR for Parietoacanthial (Waters) Facial Bones
Perpendicular to exit acanthion
Criteral in waters view for facial bones
Criteria: Equal distance on lateral borders,
Petrous ridges projected immediately below maxillary sinuses
Structures seen in the Waters (facial bones)
Structures: Orbits, maxillae and zygomatic arches
part position for Acanthioparietal (Reverse Waters) Facial Bones
Extend chin and neck to place OML at a 37-degree angle with the plane of the IR
what angle is the OML at in the Acanthioparietal (Reverse Waters) Facial Bones
OML at a 37-degree angle with the plane of the IR
how is the MML in the Acanthioparietal (Reverse Waters) Facial Bones
MML almost perpendicular to IR plane
how is the MSP in the Acanthioparietal (Reverse Waters) Facial Bones
MSP perpendicular to IR plane
CR for Acanthioparietal (Reverse Waters) Facial Bones
Perpendicular to enter acanthion
Center IR and CR
CR for PA AXIAL (CALDWELL)
Angled 15 degrees caudad
Exits nasion
For orbital rims, angle 30 degrees caudad (“exaggerated” Caldwell)
Facial bones should be done erect, unless pt. is unable to stand
how much will you angle for orbital rims (exaggerated caldwell )
For orbital rims, angle 30 degrees caudad (“exaggerated” Caldwell)

IPL perpendicular to tabletop
how is the IOML in the lateral nasal bones
IOML is parallel with transverse axis of IR
