About X-Ray Skull Townes View

X-ray Skull Townes View is a special imaging technique that allows the imaging of the back skull, the petrous ridges, posterior skull, and the Foramen Magnum. This type of projection is frequently used for the assessment of disease in the base of the skull, congenital anomalies, and trauma. At Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, we have sophisticated digital radiography systems that deliver a high level of detail for a precise diagnosis of abnormalities in the skull.

What is an X-Ray Skull Townes View?

An X-Ray skull Townes view is a rapid, painless, and non-invasive imaging test with the X-Ray beam angled to give a detailed image of the back of the skull. Used to enable doctors to take a closer look at parts of the skull that may not show up if they're captured during standard skull X-rays. The examination is often performed if there is a need to make a detailed assessment of the occipital region or skull base.

  • Suspected occipital bone fracture
  • Evaluation of skull base abnormalities
  • Persistent pain at the back of the head
  • Assessment of congenital skull defects
