About X-Ray Zygomatic Arch – Both Sides
An X-ray of the zygomatic arch (on both sides) is a special X-ray image of the two rounded bony structures that make up the prominence of the cheeks called the zygomatic arches. You can compare both sides after examining each side to see if there are subtle fractures or deformities after facial injuries. Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy employs high-resolution digital radiography equipment to capture accurate images of the facial bones for correct evaluation of conditions within the bone.
