here: occipitofrontal or Caldwell view

Caldwell's view (or Occipitofrontal view) is a radiographic view of the skull, where the X-ray plate is perpendicular to the orbitomeatal line. The rays pass from behind the head and are angled at 15-20° to the radiographic plate. It is commonly used to get a better view of the ethmoid and frontal sinuses.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caldwell's_view

Traditionally, three projections are used in the plain film assessment of the paranasal sinuses. These include the Waters (occipitomental), Caldwell (occipitofrontal) and lateral views.
