CHAPTER 11: SKULL RADIOGRAPHY
This chapter focuses on radiographic anatomy and positioning
of the skull, including cranial bones, facial landmarks,
projections, and image evaluation criteria. Emphasis is placed
on patient positioning accuracy, radiation protection, trauma
considerations, and clinical judgment. Radiographers must apply
anatomical knowledge, positioning precision, and safety
principles to obtain diagnostic skull images while minimizing
patient discomfort and radiation exposure.
1. Which projection is commonly performed to demonstrate the
lateral aspect of the skull?
, A. PA axial projection
B. AP axial projection
C. Lateral projection
D. Waters projection
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The lateral skull projection demonstrates the side of
the skull with superimposed cranial structures and is commonly
used in skull imaging.
2. A radiographer positions a patient for a PA axial skull
projection. Which angle is typically used for the central ray?
A. 15 degrees caudad
B. 30 degrees caudad
C. 15 degrees cephalad
D. Perpendicular to the IR
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The PA axial (Caldwell) skull projection commonly
uses a 15-degree caudad angle to project petrous ridges into the
lower third of the orbits.
