Tilting the head toward the IR in a lateral cervical projection allows for the visualization of the inferior cortices of the mandible without superimposition, the articular pillars and zygapophyseal joints with superoinferior separation, and the vertebral foramen of C1, but it does not result in superimposed inferior cranial cortices.
