X-RAY REVERSE TOWNE VIEW
Also Known As:
Reverse Towne Projection
Reverse AP Axial Skull View
Condylar Axial View
The Reverse Towne View X-ray is used to evaluate the occipital region and mandibular condyles from a reversed angled position. This technique provides a clearer view of condylar displacement, fractures, and skull base abnormalities. It is especially helpful in trauma cases involving the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and posterior skull.
Includes 4 Test Parameters
Reverse AP axial (Angled from behind)
Assess condylar fractures, occipital injuries, skull base defects
Mandibular condyles, occipital bone, skull base
Low-dose axial X-ray
Includes Test 5 Parameters
An X-ray Reverse Towne View is a special skull X-ray taken from the front of the head with the chin tilted down. It provides a clear view of the occipital bone, skull base, and condylar areas (jaw joints).
This view is mainly used to detect condylar fractures, evaluate skull base injuries, study occipital bone abnormalities, and assess damage after facial or head trauma. It also helps in checking the alignment of the temporomandibular joints (TMJ).
No preparation is needed. Patients only need to remove metal items like glasses, earrings, chains, or hairpins because they can interfere with the X-ray.
The test is completely painless and uses very low radiation. It is safe for most people, but pregnant women should avoid X-rays unless absolutely required.
The entire procedure usually takes around five to ten minutes, and most diagnostic centres provide the report within thirty minutes to one hour depending on workload.
