Positioning PA Axial (Haas) • CR 25 degrees cephalad entering 1 1/2 “ below occipital protuberance. • CR exits 1 ½” superior to nasion
Positioning SMV (Schüller) • CR enters the MSP of the throat between angles of mandible • Passes through a point ¾”anterior to EAMS.
SMV (Schüller) Radiograph • Adequate penetration of cranial base • Equal distance from lateral border of skull to condyles • SI of mental protuberance over anterior frontal bone • Condyles anterior to petrous ridges • Symmetric petrosa
VSM (Schüller) Radiograph • Adequate penetration of cranial base • Equal distance from lateral border of skull to condyles • SI of mental protuberance over anterior frontal bone • Condlyes anterior to petrous ridges • Symmetric petrosae

Fracture Types • Skull fractures • Basal Skull Fx: suggested by air fluid level in sphenoid sinus, bleeding from ear or presence of CSF • Linear-Sharp translucent line, may be straight or angled, may cross vascular grooves and cause sutural widening. • Depressed- may have curvilinear dense edges, serious, may require tangential projections • ping pong fx-usually found in children, similar to greenstick
