Facial Bone Anatomy & Positioning RTEC 233 Week 6 FINAL
Anterior Aspect of Facial Bones • 6 paired facial bones 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) • 2 single bones 7) 8) 4 3 2 1 7 7 5 8
Palatine Bones • L-shaped bones • _________ portion forms posterior hard palate • _______ portion extends between 1maxillae and 1 pterygoid plate of sphenoid bone • Articulates with 2 cranial bones and 4 facial bones
Zygomatic Bones • Forms ________ • Forms lower outer margin of _______ • Articulates with 3 cranial bones 1) 2) 3) • Articulates with maxillae
Inferior Nasal Cochae • The only pair of conchae that are _______ facial bones • Articulates with 1) 2) 3) 4) • Covered with mucous membranes to: ______________________________________________
Lacrimal Bones • About the size & shape of a fingernail • Lacrimal foramen for tear duct • Lie anteriorly on the medial side of orbit • Can be seen on PA and lateral projections • Articulates with 2 cranial bones and 2 facial bones
Nasal Bones • Fused and form bridge of nose • Vary in size considerably • The point of junction with the frontal bone is the nasion • Articulates with 2 cranial and 2 facial bones
Vomer • Forms inferosuperior part of nasal septum • Deviated nasal septum • Depressions for blood vessels • Articulates with 2 cranial bones & 4 facial bones
Mandible • Only _______ bone in the skull • ________& largest facial bone • ___bones at birth • Contains ______foramina
Fractures Blowout Tripod LeFort Coutrecoup Foreign Body Osteomyelitis Neoplasms Secondary Osteomyelitis TMJ Syndrome Pathologic Indications for Facial Radiography
Positioning: Lateral Facial bones • CR is perpendicular • enters lateral zygomatic bone ½ way between outer canthus and EAM.
Lateral Facial Radiograph • All facial bones in with zygomatic bone in center • Almost SI mandibular rami • SI orbital roofs (no tilt) • No rotation of sella turcica
Positioning: Waters • CR perpendicular to exit acanthion
Waters Radiograph • Distance from lateral border of skull and orbit equal on each side • Petrous ridges projected immediately below maxillary sinuses
Reverse Waters • CR perpendicular and enters acanthion
Reverse Waters Radiograph • Distance from lateral border of skull and orbit equal on each side • Petrous ridges projected immediately below maxillary sinuses
Modified Waters • CR perpendicular and exits acanthion
Modified Waters Radiograph • Petrous ridges projected immediately below the inferior border of the orbits • Equal distance from lateral orbit to lateral skull on both sides
PA Axial - Caldwell • CR 15 caudal to exit nasion
PA Axial- Caldwell Radiograph • Equal distance from lat skull to lat orbit • Symmetric petrous ridges in lower 1/3 orbit • Penetration of frontal bone without excessive density at lateral borders of skull.
Lateral Nasal Bones • CR perpendicular to the bridge of nose at a point 1” distal to the nasion
Lateral Nasal bones Radiograph • No rotation of nasal bone and soft tissue • Anterior nasal spine and frontonasal suture evident • Close collimation
