Study Notes
AP Axial Projection
- In the AP axial projection, the OML (Orbitomeatal line) should be perpendicular to the imaging receptor (IR).
- For patients unable to flex their neck, the IOML (Infraorbitomeatal line) should be aligned perpendicular to the IR.
Lateral Position for Skull Series
- In the lateral position, the MSP (Mid Sagittal Plane) should be aligned parallel to the IR for proper imaging.
- The IOML should be perpendicular to the IR to ensure accurate visualization of cranial structures.
15° PA Axial Projection
- For the 15° PA axial projection, the OML must be aligned perpendicular to the front edge of the IR to facilitate correct angling and positioning of the skull.
