Question

Caldwell’s view is used for:

• A. Maxillary sinus
• B. Frontal sinus
• C. Ethmoidal sinus
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Caldwell’s view is a radiographic technique primarily used for visualizing the frontal sinus. This view is particularly useful in radiodiagnosis to examine the frontal sinus by angling the X-ray beam appropriately. Although it can provide some visualization of other paranasal sinuses, its main focus is the frontal sinus.

Explanation:

• Frontal Sinus: Caldwell’s view is designed to highlight the frontal sinus, making it the most effective option for detailed observation.
• Other Sinuses: While the maxillary and ethmoidal sinuses may appear in this view, they are not as clearly defined due to the positioning and angle specific to the frontal sinus.

Thus, the correct answer is Frontal sinus.
