Lateral cephalogram ( Lat Ceph)

A Lateral Cephalogram (Lat Ceph) is a profile or lateral or side view x-ray of the craniofacial area.It is used to assess the relationship of the bones, teeth and facial contours in profile on a single film. Lateral Cephalogram assists in the diagnosis and treatment planning of the Orthodontic Problems and Orthognathic Surgeries. 

Procedure:

For scanning purposes, you will be asked to remove jewellery, eyeglasses, and any metal objects that may obscure the images. A pair of ear inserts are placed in the ears to support the head still and for proper alignment. During this whole procedure no discomfort is felt.

Frontal Cephalogram (PA Ceph):

 

The Frontal Cephalograms are taken to assess the facial asymmetry of the jaws. For this X-Ray, the patient is positioned with its face in front of the X-Ray detector and the x ray source behind the head.
