The points of measurement for a lateral skull radiograph is the high point of the zygomatic arch.
On an extraoral radiograph, the entire jaw and skull are seen. This type of radiograph is helpful in assessing overall bone structure, joint alignment, and general dental health. It can also be used to identify impacted teeth and potential bone abnormalities.
The bone immediately inferior to the parietal bone on the lateral skull is the temporal bone.
It is the temporal bone.
A periapical radiograph is used to visualize the entire tooth and surrounding bone for diagnosing conditions like tooth decay, infections, and bone loss around the tooth. On the other hand, a cephalometric radiograph is used to assess the skull structure, teeth alignment, facial proportions, and growth patterns, making it useful in orthodontic treatment planning.
Temporal pulse
Condylobasal length is a measurement used in the field of anthropology and paleontology to estimate the size of an animal's skull. It specifically measures the distance between the back of the skull (the condyles) and the front (the basal region). This measurement is commonly used to compare the sizes of different species and to study trends in skull evolution.
Parietal Bone
nares are nostrils. the maxillary bones form the lateral margins of external nares/nostrils
It articulates with each vertebra. Plus the occipital bone of the skull and the 12 pairs of ribs.
PA chest x-ray, AP and Lateral skull, AP and lateral cervical spine, AP and Lateral thoraxic spine, AP and lateral lumbar spine, AP Pelvis, AP Humerus Rt and Lt, AP Femurs RT and Lt. and additionally any long bones where the patient may be experinecing pain.
The greater and lesser wings are part of the sphenoid bone in the skull. The lesser wings are positioned superiorly and anteriorly, forming part of the floor of the cranial cavity and contributing to the orbits of the eyes. The greater wings are located inferiorly and laterally, extending to the sides of the skull and forming part of the lateral walls of the skull and the orbits. Together, they help shape the skull's structure and provide attachment points for various muscles.
The point in the skull where the nasal and frontal bones unite
