X-ray - Skull (Towne'S View)
X-ray – Skull (Towne’s View) is a specialized imaging test used to evaluate the skull, particularly the occipital bone and base of the skull, for fractures or abnormalities.
X-ray – Skull (Towne’s View) is a diagnostic imaging technique that provides a detailed view of the posterior skull, including the occipital bone, foramen magnum, and surrounding structures. This view is particularly useful for assessing the base of the skull and detecting abnormalities that may not be clearly visible in standard skull X-rays.
The Towne’s view is commonly used in cases of head injury, trauma, or suspected fractures involving the back of the skull. It can also help identify structural changes, bone lesions, or congenital abnormalities.
This imaging procedure is quick, non-invasive, and provides valuable information for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning in neurological and orthopedic conditions.
