Abstract:
We describe the appearance of a mandibular ossifying fibroma in spiral computed tomography-based multiplanar (MPR) and three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction using computer graphics. The usefulness of the interactive reconstructed images, especially using a vascular protocol, for qualitative and quantitative analyses is demonstrated. This technique is an important adjunct to evaluation with conventional axial CT.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
