Inferosuperior Zygomatic Arch X-Ray: Positioning & Jug-Handle Notes
The Inferosuperior Projection of the Zygomatic Arches X-Ray (commonly referred to as the “Jug-Handle” View or Tangential Zygomatic Arch Projection) is a specialized, low-exposure axial view designed to project the delicate, slender zygomatic…
Axiolateral Oblique View of Mandible X-Ray: Positioning, Angles & Study Notes
The Axiolateral Oblique View of Mandible is an essential diagnostic projection designed to isolate and evaluate one side of the mandible in profile without superimposition from the opposite (contralateral) mandibular ramus or body. By combining specific…
Modified Towne’s View Zygomatic Arches: Radiographic Positioning Notes
The Modified Towne’s View (AP Axial for Zygomatic Arches) is a specialized cranial projection designed to demonstrate both zygomatic arches simultaneously in symmetry. It serves as the primary non-invasive alternative to the Submentovertex (SMV /…
Submentovertex (SMV) View Mandible View X-Ray: Axial Positioning, Technique & Notes
The Submentovertex (SMV) View For The Mandible (often referred to as the Full Axial Mandible or Horseshoe Mandible View) is an axial radiographic projection designed to demonstrate the full anatomical curvature of the mandible from symphysis to condyles…
Haas Method (PA Axial Skull / Reverse Towne’s View) : Skull X-Ray Positioning Notes
The Haas Method (PA Axial Skull / Reverse Towne’s View) is a specialized cranial projection designed to demonstrate the occipital bone, petrous pyramids, foramen magnum, and dorsum sellae. It functions as the posteroanterior equivalent of the AP Axial…
PA Mandible 0° View X-Ray: Positioning, Technique & Study Notes
PA Mandible 0° View- The PA Projection of the Mandible (0° Central Ray) is the primary baseline view designed to evaluate the mandibular body, bilateral gonions (angles), and lower ascending rami in true anatomical symmetry. Unlike the PA Axial…
Rhese View X-Ray (Optic Foramen): Parieto-Orbital Positioning Notes
The Rhese view Method (Parieto-Orbital Oblique Projection) is the primary radiographic view specifically engineered to project the optic canal (optic foramen) end-on, demonstrating its cross-sectional circular profile, bony margins, and surrounding…
Stenvers X-Ray View: PA Oblique Petrous Bone Positioning Notes
The Stenvers X-Ray View Method (PA Oblique 45° Projection) is a specialized temporal bone projection designed to profile the petrous pyramid in its true anatomical length parallel to the image receptor. By rotating the head 45⁰ toward the affected side…
Schuller X-Ray View (TMJ & Mastoid): Positioning & Anatomy Notes
Schuller X-Ray View- The Schüller Method (Axiolateral 25°–30° Caudal Projection) is a specialized temporal bone projection. By placing the affected side in a true lateral position and angling the central ray caudad, the dense petrous bone and mastoid…
Chaussé III X-Ray View: Transorbital Middle Ear Positioning Notes
The Chaussé III X-Ray View Method (Transorbital Oblique / Orbitotympanic Projection) is an essential specialized projection of the temporal bone. It is specifically designed to project the middle ear cavity, epitympanic recess (attic), aditus ad antrum,…
