Radiologists' mastoid and sinus film reports have often not helped the otolaryngologist clinically. The trend in radiography of the temporal bone has swung almost entirely to tomograms, further de-emphasizing the importance of plain films. A review of the literature reveals that the details for taking films of high quality were worked out prior to 1930, but the equipment available was cumbersome and difficult to use. Applying the available knowledge to today's sophisticated equipment yields films of outstanding quality and gives clinical information of considerable usefulness. The objectives of this article are: 1. to review the literature on plain film otolaryngologic radiography and equipment used. 2. to present previously unpublished material on the exact technique for obtaining films of high quality. 3. to assemble for the first time all the available information on the subject in one source. 4. to present the author's modification of the Waters view for small children, and 5. to stress the clinical usefulness of office radiography in the author's practice.
放射科医生的乳突和鼻窦X光片报告在临床上往往对耳鼻喉科医生帮助不大。颞骨放射成像的趋势几乎完全转向了断层扫描，这进一步淡化了平片的重要性。对文献的回顾表明，高质量X光片的拍摄细节在1930年之前就已确定，但当时可用的设备笨重且难以操作。将现有知识应用于当今先进的设备，可以得到质量优异的X光片，并提供相当有用的临床信息。本文的目的是：1. 回顾有关耳鼻喉科平片放射成像及所用设备的文献。2. 介绍以前未发表的关于获取高质量X光片的确切技术的资料。3. 首次将关于该主题的所有可用信息汇总于一处。4. 介绍作者对小儿华氏位的改进方法，以及5. 强调门诊放射成像在作者临床实践中的实用性。
