The purpose of this page is to help you apply the structures you have learned on the sagittal CT scan on the previous page to a lateral radiograph.
In your mind, transfer the shaded structures in the shaded, sagittal CT scan to the lateral radiograph, above. The CT scan is in a SAGITTAL plane, progressing from animal left to animal right. Cranial is screen left in the CT scan and radiograph. As you transfer the structures from the CT scan to the radiograph, remember that the radiograph represents all of the structures being "flattened down" into a single plane.
