Final answer:

A VD/DV radiograph of the skull can show various structures and features such as bones, sinus, veins and auditory canal.

Step-by-step explanation:

A VD/DV (ventrodorsal/dorsoventral) radiograph of the skull can show various structures and features. In an anterior view, you can see the bones that form the forehead, eye sockets, nasal cavity, nasal septum, and upper and lower jaws. A posterior view may show attachment sites for muscles and joints that support the skull. A lateral view provides a look at the brain case, zygomatic arch, temporal fossa, and infratemporal fossa. Additionally, intercranial sinuses, veins of the head and neck, and the auditory canal may also be visible in certain views.
