"This view should not be used in a trauma setting (to avoid manipulating a potentially unstable spine) the modified Fuchs view may be used instead; instead of moving the patient's chin, the beam is angled 35-40° upward and the odontoid is targeted just under the chin (the chin is in a neutral position)."
