About X-Ray Skull Lateral View

An X-ray Skull Lateral View depicts a lateral, or side-on, view of the skull. This perspective will help a doctor to assess the relationship of the bones of the skull, skull base, facial bones, and the general shape and form of the skull. It is often used after head injuries or to evaluate suspected abnormalities of the bones of the skull. The use of state-of-the-art digital radiography systems at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy allows us to take high-quality images that enable a diagnostic and accurate evaluation.

What is an X-Ray Skull Lateral View?

The X-ray is a very fast, painless, and non-invasive skull image taken from the side and is called an X-ray skull lateral view. It is useful for detecting fractures, bone lesions, congenital abnormalities of the bones, calcifications, and any structural changes to the skull. For acute head trauma, a CT scan is preferred for evaluation; however, a lateral X-ray of the skull is useful in a few situations to assess the bony structures of the skull.

Common Reasons for a Skull Lateral View

• Head injury or trauma
• Suspected skull fracture
• Persistent localized skull pain
• Evaluation of skull bone abnormalities
• Assessment of congenital skull deformities
• Investigation of bone lesions or tumors
• Follow-up after skull surgery or treatment
• Evaluation of chronic bone disorders
