Study Notes
Cranial Radiography
- Crane de Profil: horizontal beam direction, 1M DFR, 70kV, 60mAs, centered 3 cm above the tragus
- Positioning: patient is positioned with OM=0, PSM 15°, with the occipital bone visible
- Criteria for Success: superposition of the orbital roofs and the greater wings of the sphenoid, and symmetrical appearance of the temporal fossae
Cranial Radiography (Blondeau Method)
- DFR: 1M
- Beam Direction: horizontal
- Exposure: 70kV, 70mAs
- Positioning: extension of the head, mouth open, and supported by the chin, with OM=-50°
- Centering: beam is centered on the acanthion
- Criteria for Success: the entire facial mass is visible, with equidistance of the zygomatic bones and the parietal vault
Cranial Radiography (Face-High Method)
- Beam Direction: 25° caudal
- Exposure: 70kV, 70mAs
- Centering: beam is centered on the nasion
- Positioning: patient is positioned with OM=-25°, with flexion of the head and hands on the potter
- Criteria for Success: superior orbital fissures project into the orbital borders, and the intercalvaria lines are identical on both sides
