Question 2

An acanthioparietal sinus projection (Waters method) can be distinguished from a parietoacanthi-al sinus projection because

1. it demonstrates the bony nasal septum in alignment with the collimated field's longitudinal axis.
2. it demonstrates greater orbital magnification.
3. it demonstrates less distance from the lateral orbital rims to the lateral cranial cortices.
4. the petrous ridges are demonstrated superior to the maxillary sinuses.
a. 1, 2, and 3 only
b. 2 and 3 only
c. 1 and 4 only
