Anatomy coverage

Zygomatic arches free of mandibular and skull superimposition.

Tech pearls

  • Reduce kVp/mAs from standard skull — arches are thin.
  • Tangential best for depressed fracture eval.

Image evaluation

  • Arches free of superimposition, no foreshortening

Common mistakes

  • Using full skull technique (overexposes arches)
