The document describes three different radiographic projections used to image different parts of the skull. The submentovertical projection images the base of the skull with the central ray directed 3/4 inch anterior to the external auditory meatus. The parietoacanthial projection images the foramen magnum and is performed with the midsagittal plane at a 37 degree angle to the cassette. The orbitoparietal oblique projection images the optic foramen with the midsagittal plane at a 53 degree angle.
