    Radioanatomy of The Skull and Mandible 2022

    Uploaded by

    francisalipio.med
    This document provides an overview of radiological anatomy of the skull and mandible. It discusses various imaging techniques such as plain skull radiography, CT scans, MRI, and different skull x-ray views including posterioranterior, lateral, Caldwell's, and Towne's views. Key structures that are evaluated on skull x-rays include the shape and thickness of bones, sutures, sella turcica, calcifications, venous plexuses, and signs of increased intracranial pressure. Mandible imaging includes panoramic x-rays and evaluation of fractures. CT scans provide detailed views of teeth, temporomandibular joints, and skull base anatomy.

    RADIOLOGICAL

    ANATOMY
    OF THE SKULL
    AND
    MANDIBLE
    OBJECTIVES

     Identify and recognize normal anatomical


    structures
     Learn radiographic indications and
    limitations
     Readily perceive gross pathology
    ANATOMY OF SKULL AND MANDIBLE
    SKULL X-RAY
    Plain skull radiography
    – has no diagnostic value
    on patients suspected of
    having neurologic disease
    CT Scan / MRI – technique
    of choice for the initial
    diagnostic evaluation of
    most patients with
    neurologic disease
    SKULL X-RAY
     Plain skull X-Ray – technique is
    insensitive and nonspecific
     Abnormalities seen rarely
    provide sufficient information for
    patient’s management
     Shows bone density changes in
    some metabolic and pathologic
    conditions
     Fracture lines seen in skull bone
    fractures
    ROUTINE RADIOGRAPHIC
    PROCEDURES OF SKULL
    POSTEROANTERIOR VIEW
    LATERAL VIEW
    CALDWELL’S X-RAY PROJECTION

     PA view with 15 degree


    tilt of the tube caudally
     Permits visualization of
    orbital structures
    superior orbital fissures
    sphenoid wings
    frontal sinuses
    TOWNE’S VIEW

     AP view with a 30 degree


    tilt of the tube caudally
     Visualizes:
    occipital bone
    mandibular condyles
    mastoids
    SUBMENTOVERTICAL VIEW
    BASAL VIEW
    ROUTINE STUDY OF SKULL
    RADIOGRAPHS
     Note the shape of the skull as a whole,
    especially the relationship of the vault to the
    base in all views
     Study the outline of the skull as a whole, noting
    the thickness of the inner and outer tables
     Study the character and density of the bones of
    the calvarium
     Study the lines, impressions, channels and
    sutures including the arachnoidal impression,
    arterial grooves, venous plexuses and sinuses
     Calvarial impressions,
     May reflect increased
    intracranial pressure
    such as that seen in
    hydrocephalus
    VP SHUNT NOTED ON THE FRONTAL AND
    LATERAL RADIOGRAPHS
    WHAT WE LOOK FOR IN A
    ROUTINE SKULL RADIOGRAPH

     Check all calcifications, such as may be found in


    the dura, the falx cerebri, pineal gland, choroid
    plexuses, petroclinoid ligament and the
    habenular commissure
     Carefully define the sella turcica, its anterior and
    posterior clinoid processes and tuberculum
    sellae
     The petrous ridges, orbits, sphenoid ridges,
    temporal bones and facial bones are carefully
    studied bilaterally
    WHAT TO STUDY ON LATERAL
    SKULL VIEWS

    Blood Vessel Markings


    - pattern of the blood vessels
    grooves should be observed
    closely on lateral view
    - Middle Meningeal
    Artery (MMA)
    - Diploic Veins
    Sutures
    SELLA TURCICA ON MAGNIFIED LATERAL VIEW

    SELLA TURCICA
     Lateral view shows an
    oval shaped central
    depression in the
    sphenoid bone
     It contains the pituitary
    gland
     Normal measurement
    of the sella turcica are
    16 to 17 mm in the AP
    diameter
    PA VIEW OF THE FACE
    MANDIBULAR BONE
    MANDIBULAR IMAGING
    PANORAMIC X-RAY VIEW
    RIGHT OBLIQUE X-RAY VIEW OF MANDIBLE

     Right mandible
    clearly showing
    right ramus,
    angle and
    alveolar margins
    of the mandible
    MANDIBLE FRACTURE

     Left mandible fracture


    seen on the lateral view.
    DENTAL CT DONE ALONG THE AXIS OF EACH TOOTH
    CT Scan of theTemporomandibular joint
    READINGS:

     Cranial Synostoses

     Skull base foramina and contents
