Note difference in technique between SMV - skull and
SMV - zygomatic arch

Zygomatic arches- SMV
• Similar to position for
skull or sinus SMV
• CR perpendicular to
IOML,between arches,
1” posterior to outer
canthus
• Tilt image receptor if
possible

Evaluation Criteria
• No rotation of
head
• Arches free from
superimposition
of overlying
structures
• Arches
symmetric
• Arches not
burned out
You make the Call!

What do you do when you get a patient with flat
cheekbones or depression fx. ?

• CR to side of interest,
perp. To IOML
• Tilt top of head 15
degrees away from
side of interest
• ? Rotate midsagital

towards side of
interest

Similar to

CR enters at
glabella
instead of 2”

Nasal bones
Paired bones making up superior bony wall of nasal cavity –
bridge of nose
Along with lacrimal bones, thinnest and most fragile
bones of entire human body !!
