Comparison of Anatomic Images in Examination of the Ap Axial Cranium Towne’s Method With 30° and 37° Caudal Light Directions to View the Foramen Magnum

Abstract

The phenomenon in the field, the researchers found that there was an examination of the cranium using the Towne method using only one beam direction, in theory there were variations in the direction of the beam 30° caudal and 37°. The aim of this study to see better anatomical information and which results from the Towne's method of cranium ap-axial radiographs that are able to show the optimal foramen magnum. This type of research uses an experimental study through a quantitative approach, the population in this study only uses one object, namely Phantom, sing several data collection methods such as studies, experiments and filling out questionnaires. The results of the study found that in the study of the examination of Towne's Method of Ap Axial Cranium overview with a beam direction of 30 ° caudal with a beam direction of 37 ° caudal shows if the value is significant (p value > 0.05), if (p value < 0.05) it means that there is a difference between the Towne Method Cranium with variations in the direction of the beam 30 ° caudal and 37 °caudal. And on the image of the Cranium Ap Axial Towne's Method which consists of 1 (one) object, it was found that the examination of the image of the Cranium Ap Axial of the Towne Method is better to use the 37° caudal ray direction, because the resulting image is better able to provide more optimal anatomical information to obtain a diagnosis. Towne's method of precise and accurate examination of the ap-axial cranium.
