We hypothesized that head computed tomography (CT) is an accurate screening tool for
detecting nonnasal midfacial fractures in trauma patients. We retrospectively reviewed …

PURPOSE:: This study evaluated the use of a single 30° occipitomental radiograph as an
effective screening procedure for midface fractures. PATIENTS AND METHODS:: The …

Background The standard radiologic screening views for maxillofacial trauma in the accident
and emergency department have been the Waters (30-degree occipitomental [OM]) view …

Sidebottom et al. have previously shown that one occipitomental 15° view (OM15) is
sufficient for screening the majority of cases of midfacial injury. This audit study investigates …

This is the second edition of an old favourite written for all students of radiography at all
levels of interest. The book includes descriptions of projection radiographic techniques …

Two previous studies have suggested that a single occipitomental (OM) 15 degrees
radiograph may be sufficient for screening for midfacial fractures in the Accident and …

The aim of any imaging examination for maxillofacial injury is to demonstrate the positions of
the anatomic elements, both hard and soft tissue, in 3 spatial planes. Much has changed in …

A short cut review was carried out to establish whether a reduced number of facial
radiographs had acceptable clinical utility at detecting facial fractures after trauma …

Brain and cervical spine imaging is often appropriate in patients with suspected high-energy
facial or skull base fractures.• A systematic approach to plain radiograph analysis is required …

Objetivo: Este trabalho analisou as vantagens e limitações da técnica radiográfica
occiptomental (Waters) com máxima abertura de boca para o diagnóstico de fraturas do …
