| during any SMV projection what line is parallel to the IR? | IOML |
| what two sinuses are visualized in an SMV of the sinus? | -spehnoid -ethmoid |
| in the SMV sinus, what anatomical structure is superimposed by the anterior frontal bone? | mental protuberance |
| What two sinuses are demonstrated in the waters open mouth of the sinuses? | -sphenoid sinus -maxillary sinus |
| the hard palate is formed by what two bones? | -maxillary bone -palatine bone |
| in the PA axial projection of the sinuses what line forms a 15 deg angle with the horizontal beam? | OML |

| What sinuses are seen in the PA axial of the sinuses? (OML 15 deg from horizontal beam) | -frontal -ethmoid |
| to demonstrate the mandibular body in the PA position, the CR is: | Perpendicular to the IR |
| the OML and IOML are seperated by about __ degrees | 7 degrees |
| the OML and GML are seperated by about ___ degrees | 8 degrees |
| The GML and IOML are seperatd by __ degrees | 15 degrees |
| the structures forming the brain stem include: | -medulla oblongata -pons -midbrain |
| when modifying the PA axial projection of the skull, to demonstrate the superior orbital fissure the CR is directed: | - 25 - 30 caudad |
| when modifying the PA axial projection of the skull, to demonstrate the inferior orbital fissure the CR is directed: | 20 - 25 cephalad |
| when modifying the PA axial projection of the skull, to demonstrate the rotundum foramina the CR is directed: | 25 - 35 caudad |
| what are the three foramina in the greater wing of the sphenoid? | -rotundum -ovale -spinosum |
| structures involved in a blow out fracture include: | -inferiror rectus muscle -orbital floor |
| blowout fractures in the orbital floor are well demonstrated in what view? | -modidfied waters |
| in the modified waters, the OML is ___ to the IR and LML is ___ to the IR | - OML is 55 degrees to IR -LML is perpendicular to IR |
| The ___________ projection is the single best position to demonstrate facil bones | parietoacanthial ( waters) |
| what skull position will demonstrate the cranial base, sphenoidal sinuses, atlas, and odontoid process ? | SMV |
| __ or ___ projections are used frequently to demonstrate the occipital region or evaluate the sellar region | AP or PA |
| With the patient in the PA position and the OML and CR perpendicular to the IR, this will demonstrate the petrous pyramids where? | completely within the orbits |
