X-RAY CALDWELL VIEW

500

The Caldwell view is a caudally angled radiograph, with its posteroanterior projection allowing for minimal radiation to the orbits. This view may be used in imaging the skull or facial bones depending on the clinical indications. This view aids in visualizing the paranasal sinuses, especially the frontal sinus. It can help to assess 4 inflammatory conditions such as sinusitis and secondary osteomyelitis, and sinus polyps or cysts. Additionally, any fractures to the orbit may also be determined through this view.
