About Test
A 4-view X-ray of the skull is a diagnostic imaging test that provides four different views of the skull to help diagnose various conditions or injuries. The four views typically include:
Anteroposterior (AP) view: This is a front-to-back view of the skull, which allows visualization of the entire skull.
Lateral view: This is a side view of the skull, which allows visualization of the side of the head.
Towne's view: This is a view that shows the base of the skull and is often used to assess the foramen magnum and the occipital bone.
Submentovertex (SMV) view: This is a view that shows the base of the skull from beneath the chin.
A 4-view X-ray of the skull can help diagnose a variety of conditions, such as fractures, infections, tumors, and other abnormalities in the bones of the skull or brain.
