Cephalostat

A device used to precisely and predictably position the head so as to create spatially oriented and reproducible radiographs or photographs.


A device that holds a patient’s head in a fixed position. It may be used, e.g., in anesthesiology, to facilitate tracheal intubation; in dental radiography, to improve the quality of radiographs; and in ear, nose, and throat surgery to limit head movement.
