Considerable orientation is necessary to evaluate the many secondary structures seen in this position which are not at all apparent on the three other standard views. These structures vary markedly with slight changes in the x-ray technique employed and in the various skulls examined.
During the past year we have reviewed over 1,000 sets of sinus and facial bone films. Each set contained, in addition to the posteroanterior (Caldwell view), the Waters', lateral, and base views. These films had been taken for either routine sinus or facial bone evaluation.
