Abstract:
Cherubism is a paediatric disease affecting the jaws. It is a close radiological mimic of giant cell lesions of the mandible. The radiographic features of this condition are well known; however, the MR imaging features have not been well described. We describe the radiographic, CT and MR imaging features of cherubism in a 5-year-old girl. We highlight the MR appearances of cherubic lesions and the ability of MRI to not only accurately depict the anatomical extent of the lesions, but also to reveal signal intensity changes in those areas that are apparently normal on radiographs and CT images.

Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...

Imaging Studies III: Computed Tomography
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...
