DEF

A radiographic position used to obtain a lateral projection of the mastoid process and petrous portion of the temporal bone. The median sagittal plane is parallel to the film, which is centered to a localization point 1 in. posterior to the external auditory meatus. The central ray is directed at angles 15 ° toward the feet and 15 ° toward the face.

OBS

Other Law projections are inferosuperior oblique projections of the facial bones and of the paranasal sinuses.
