for ONLY the sellatursica the central ray goes to 3/4 anterior and 3/4 superior of the EAM. THERE IS NO TUBE ANGULATION.
if whole lateral skull the central ray goes to 2" above EAM

Lateral sella tursica would be used to check for a bony growth or tumor.
More than likely, it is for a pre-teen or pre-cocious child (maturing faster
than his/her chronological age).
