X-ray SKULL AP

What is an X-ray Skull AP View Test?

A skull X-ray or head exam helps view the skull bones, including facial bones, sinuses, and the nose.

The skull's anteroposterior (AP) view shows the whole head rather than focusing on one area.

Why is it done? 

• To identify any head trauma or dislocation of the skull joints.
• To identify hearing loss, mastoid brain infection, sinusitis, and discomfort resulting from increased intracranial pressure.
• Determine whether there has been a loss of calcium from the skull, an infection of the middle ear, or even an infection of the skull bones.
• To identify brain cancers, brain diseases, and brain malformations.
