RAO Esophagus: the MCP should be positioned _______________ to the IR.

The PA Axial Caldwell for sinuses would be used to best demonstrate which sinuses? 1. Ethmoid sinuses 2. Sphenoid sinuses 3. Maxillary Sinuses 4. Frontal sinuses

PA Esophagus x-ray shows the entire esophagus shifted to the RIGHT of the spine with the spine also curved to the left. What was the ERROR?

For an accurate PA Axial Skull projection (Caldwell method), the: 1. midsagittal plane is aligned perpendicular to the IR 2. central ray is angled 15 degrees caudally 3. OML is aligned perpendicular to the IR 4. central ray is centered to the acanthion
