can you visualize?
12

Frontal Bone

Has a vertical and horizontal portion
13
Parietal Bone
14
Occipital Bone
15
Ethmoid Bone



Horizontal portion is called cribiform plate
Vertical portion is called perpendicular plate
2 light spongy labyrinths
16
Sphenoid Bone
17
Sella Turcica

Lies in the MSP


¾” anterior & superior
to EAM
Deformity of the sella
is often the only clue
that a lesion exists
intracranially
18
Temporal Bone

Divided in 3 parts



1) __________ upper
portion forming part of
the wall of skull
2) ________ Posterior
to EAM contains
mastoid tip (process)
3) _______ dense &
houses organs of
hearing and balance


Thickest most dense
bone in cranium
Level of TEA
19
Name the four sutures:

Name the junctions of the
sutures:
21
Adult Sutures
and Junctions


Sutures:
 Coronal

Sagittal

Squamosal

Lamboidal
Junctions

Bregma

Lambda

Pterion

Asterion
22

where are they found?
23
Infant Sutures
& Fontanels

Anterior


2 Mastoids


Close approx 2 years
2 Sphenoidal


Close approx 2 years
1-3 months old
Posterior

1-3 months

Skull Positioning Lines
30
Skull Positioning Lines

Interpupillary line (IPL)
a)

Acanthiomeatal line (AML)
b)

Mentomeatal line (MML)
c)
31
Skull Positioning Lines

Orbitomeatal line (OML)
a)

Infraorbitomeatal line (IOML)
b)

Glabellomeatal line (GML)
c)
32
Positioning Aids
Use any straightedge:
•Straw
•Pen/pencil
33
Most Common Positioning Errors

Rotation

Tilt

Excessive Flexion

Excessive Extension

Incorrect CR angle
Rotation
Tilt
34

Hyposthenic
and Asthenic


Usually need
support at
chest to elevate
C-spine
Helps prevent
downward tilt
of MSP
35
Hypersthenic


Require
radiolucent
support at head
Helps prevent
upward tilt of
MSP
36
Indications for Cranial Radiography

Skull fractures

Neoplasms




Linear
Depressed
Basal skull
Metastases



Osteolytic
Osteoblastic
Combo of both

Gunshot wounds

Multiple myeloma

Pituitary Adenomas

Paget’s Disease

Subdural hematoma

Acoustic neuroma
37
Disinfect the Table or Bucky!!
38
Cleanliness


Hair and skin of face are naturally oily; illness
often increases oiliness
Cranial procedures require direct contact of
patient’s face with VBS

Clean device after each patient

Wash your hands!!!
39
Radiation Protection




Collimate to anatomy of interest
Shield gonads/abdomen of pediatric patients
and those of reproductive age
Shield thyroid and thymus of pediatric patient
when doing so will not interfere with
demonstration of anatomy of interest
Good communication and positioning skills
reduce chance of need for repeat radiographs
