The importance of inconsistent bones.
Inconsistent bones are of radiographic importance in the differentiation of trauma and anomalies. An understanding of the anatomy, including structure and location, permits the radiographer to apply basic positioning principles to better demonstrate these structures. The proper use of oblique or lateral, tangential and contralateral views provides the radiologist with the necessary information to make correct diagnoses. Examples of the aforementioned help to reinforce the content of the text.
