Lateral Projection of the Skull (Right / Left Lateral Cranium)
The Lateral View of the Skull is a foundational projection included in almost all standard cranial series. It evaluates the lateral calvarium, the anterior/middle/posterior cranial fossae, the sella turcica in profile, and the relationship between the…
PA Projection of the Skull (0° PA Baseline / Calvarium PA View)
The Posteroanterior (PA) View of the Skull (0° Central Ray) is the fundamental baseline projection for cranial radiography. Unlike the modified Caldwell projection (which uses a 15⁰ caudal tilt), the 0° PA baseline directs the X-ray beam perpendicular to…
AP Axial Projection of the Skull (Towne’s Method)
The Towne’s Projection (AP Axial Skull) is an essential specialized cranial view designed to project the dense anterior facial bones and frontal structures away, providing an unobstructed, symmetrical view of the occipital bone, foramen magnum, petrous…
