RadioAnat Flashcards
Orbital bones: medial wall of the orbit
Ethmoid Bone
Orbital bone: Entire roof of the orbit
Frontal Bone
Orbital bone: medial wall and floor of the orbit
Maxilla Bone
Orbital bone: medial wall
Lacrimal bone
Orbital bone: lateral margin and floor of the orbit
Zygomatic Bone
Orbital bone: forms the apex
Sphenoid bone
MAXILLARY BONE
LACRIMAL BONE
ETHMOID BONE
BODY OF SPHENOID BONE
Median orbital wall
smallest bones, anterior part of the medial wall of orbits; in between ethmoid and maxilla
LACRIMAL BONE
MAXILLARY BONE
ZYGOMATIC BONE
PALATINE BONE
FLOOR OF ORBITAL BONE
ZYGOMATIC BONE
GREATER WING OF THE SPHENOID BONE
LATERAL WALL OF ORBITAL BONE
Frontal
Maxillary
Ethmoid
Sphenoid
Paranasal Sinuses
Excellent view for
Maxilla, Maxillary sinuses, Zygoma, Zygomatic arches, Rims of orbits (floor) and Nasal bones
Water’s View
Excellent view for
Entire rim of orbit - superomedial rim, Ethmoid sinus, Floor of orbit may be well seen in petrous bone are projected below the inferior orbital rim
Caldwell’s View
Key structures: Frontal sinus, Maxillary sinus, Frontal process of Zygoma, Body of Zygoma (malar eminence), Temporal process of Zygoma
Rule: smooth, non-disturpted, same contour on both sides
Water’s View
Key structures: Ethmoid sinuses and Orbit
Rule: Ethmoid sinuses density should be equal of darker than the orbit, smooth non-disrupted orbital walls
Caldwell’s View
Most comprehensive single projection display
Water’s view
Excellent view for
Maxillary Sinus: Posterolateral Wall
Zygomatic arch
Towne’s View
Key structures: Frontal sinus, Maxillary Sinus, Sphenoid Sinus, Hard Palate, Anterior wall of temporal fossa, Pterygoid plate
Towne’s View
Retrobulbar Fat, EOMS, Optic Nerve
Orbital Tissue
Superior, Inferior, Medial and Lateral
Recti Muscles
Superior and Inferior Oblique
Oblique Muscle
is a ring of fibrous tissue that surrounds the optic nerve at its entrance at the apex of the orbit.
Annulus of Zinn
Annulus of Zinn is the origin of these muscles except:
a. Superior Rectus
b. Inferior Rectus
c. Lateral Rectus
d. Superior Oblique
d. Superior Oblique
Pulley for the Superior Oblique Muscle
