  1. Small Animal Skull Chapter 15

  2. Skull • Positioning is vital. • May have to sedate patient. • Remove endotracheal tube • Key is precision and symmetry • Differences among species and breeds

  3. Anatomy of the Skull

  4. Lateral View • Patient in lateral recumbency with affected side of the skull toward the cassette. • Nasal septum should be parallel to the surface of the cassette. • Mandibular rami should be superimposed. • View should include entire head from the tip of the nose to the base of the skull.

  5. Dorsoventral View • Patient is in sternal recumbency with head resting on cassette. • Front limbs can be in natural position but not in x-ray beam. • May need to put gentle pressure on cervical region or place tape over cranium so that it will remain in desired position. • View should include entire head from tip pf the nose to base of the skull.

  6. Ventrodorsal View • Patient is placed in dorsal recumbency. • Front limbs are extended caudally and secured. • Nose must remain parallel to cassette. • View should include entire head from the tip of the nose to the base of the skull.

  7. Rostrocaudal View of Frontal Sinuses • Patient is in dorsal recumbency with nose pointing upward. • Front legs should be pulled caudally alongside the body. • May need to tie nose in place. • Frontal sinuses should be centered on the cassette. • View should include entire forehead of patient. • Collimator should be aimed perpendicularly to the cassette and centered between the eyes.

  8. Cranium Rostrocaudal view • Dorsal recumbency with nose pointing upward and the front limbs pulled caudally. • Similar to frontal sinus view but nose is directed slightly in a caudal direction (10-15 degrees). • Careful with any endotracheal tube on this view. • Cranium should be centered on the cassette. • View should include entire cranium.

  9. Nasal Cavity- Ventrodorsal Open-mouth view • Patient is in dorsal recumbency with legs extended caudally. • Maxilla remians parallel with the cassette and mouth is held open by tape or gauze. • X-ray tube should be angled 10-15 degrees so that beam is directed into the mouth. • Nasal cavity should be centered on the cassette. • View should include the entire maxilla from the tip of the nose to the pharyngeal region.

  10. Tympanic Bullae-Rostrocaudal Open-mouth view • Patient is placed in dorsal recumbency. • Nose pointing upward and legs pulled caudally alongside the body. • Mouth is tied or propped open. • Nose is pulled cranially 5-10 degrees • View should include the entire nasopharyngeal region of the skull.

  11. Tympanic Bullae-Lateral oblique view • Patient is placed in lateral recumbency • Unaffected bullae toward cassette. • Skull will lay in slightly oblique position.

  12. Temporomandibular Joint-Ventrodorsal Obique View • Patient is in lateral recumbency with affected side toward cassette. • Cranium is rotated approximately 20 degrees toward cassette and held in position. • Can be with mouth opened or closed

  13. Maxilla- Dorsoventral Intraoral View • Patient is placed in sternal recumbency. • Film is placed in mouth • Have to adjust settings as SID has changed. • Now with advent of intraoral radiograph machines, this type of view is less likely on standard machines.

  14. Maxilla- Upper Dental Arcade • Patient is placed halfway on back with maxillary arcade closest to the cassette. • Head is rotated approximately 45 degrees to the cassette. • Mouth should be maintained in open position. • Again new dental machines make this view more rare on standard equipment.

  15. Mandible- Ventrodorsal View • Patient is in dorsal recumbency. • Head is extended in cranial position. • Film is placed in mouth as before. • Adjust SID as before.

  16. Mandible- Lower Dental Arcade • Dorsoventral oblique view. • Patient in lateral recumbency with affected mandible closest to cassette.

  17. Teeth • Will discuss more in depth when we get to dental and intraoral radiographs. • Most accurate way of visualizing teeth. • Patient is in lateral recumbency with unaffected side to the table and affected side up. • Film is inserted into the mouth.
