[Magnetic resonance tomography, angiography, and spectroscopy in acute odontogenic inflammatory diseases]
Abstract:
Magnetic resonance characteristics of a focus of an acute odontogenic inflammation were determined. Clear-cut characteristics of signals in various scanning modes were obtained by magnetic resonance tomo- and angiography and the potentialities of imaging the structures adjacent to the focus of odontogenic inflammation were determined. Changes in the biochemical composition of focus of inflammation in disease of different severity were determined by magnetic resonance spectroscopy and autodiffusion of water molecules. Practical recommendations on the use of nuclear magnetic resonance for the diagnosis of perimaxillary odontogenic inflammations are offered.
