Orbits: Radiographic Anatomy - Video Lesson

Hey, everybody. Welcome to today's lesson on radiographic anatomy, demonstrated on routine projections of the orbits. In a previous lesson, we discussed the anatomy and which radiographic projections are routinely performed. So let's tie that information to the radiographs themselves. As a reminder, the routine radiographic projections of the orbits are lateral, PA axial, and parietoacanthial, Waters method. Take a look at this radiograph. What projection is being demonstrated? How do you know? Let's find out the answers to these questions. If you said this radiograph is a lateral projection of the orbits, you're correct. Let's look at the evaluation criteria to see how we know for sure. In this image, the entire orbits are shown without rotation as evidenced by the superimposed orbital roofs. Can you identify the anatomy? In this image, we see the superimposed superior orbital margins, apex of the orbits, and inferior
