Aradiographic examination of the nasal bones would consist of which of the following positions/projections? a. parietoacanthial (waters) projection and lateralb. parietoacanthial (waters) and pa (caldwell) projectionsc. parietoacanthial (waters) projection and both lateralsd. parietoacanthial (waters) projection, ap axial (towne) projection and lateral

The correct answer is option C. "Parietoacanthial (Waters) projection and both laterals".

Explanation:

While most of the nose is comprised of cartilage, there are nasal bones that could be affected result of an impact or an accident. In order to see if nasal bones are damaged, a radiographic examination comprised of parietoacanthial (Waters) projection and both laterals is needed. Images of both laterals are needed to cover both sides of the nose, while a parietoacanthial examination using the method of Waters is needed to see the front part of the nose.
