What is a skull X-ray and what is it used for?

A skull X-ray is a medical imaging study that uses X-rays to obtain a clear view of the bones of the head. It is primarily used to detect fractures, injuries, malformations, or to evaluate changes following a trauma or surgery.

It is a quick, non-invasive and safe procedure.

When might it be necessary?

Traumas and blows

Helps identify fractures and bone injuries after an accident or blow to the head.

Persistent headaches

It may be requested to rule out structural problems in the skull.

Projections made by UniRad for Cranial X-rays.

Single-projection skull radiography is ideal when a rapid and direct evaluation of frontal skull structures, such as the cranial vault, frontal sinuses, or lesions visible from only one angle, is required .

It is recommended for initial examinations, simple trauma, or medical follow-up where further study is not necessary.


Benefit: shorter exposure time and immediate results.

The 2-projection skull X-ray offers a more complete and detailed view, since images are taken from different angles (usually anteroposterior and lateral) .

It is useful for ruling out occult fractures, studying paranasal sinuses, bone malformations, or more complex traumatic injuries.


Benefit: Greater diagnostic accuracy without the need for more advanced studies.

At UniRad, we advise you on whether one or two projections are necessary depending on your clinical case, ensuring clear and reliable images.
