Summary
Computed tomography (CT) aids in diagnosing orofacial neoplasms. This study analyzes CT scan results for 57 patients with tumors in the head and neck region.
Area of Science:
- Radiology
- Oncology
- Oromaxillofacial Surgery
Background:
- Neoplasms in the orofacial region present diagnostic challenges.
- Accurate imaging is crucial for effective treatment planning.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the utility of computed tomography (CT) in diagnosing orofacial neoplasms.
- To present findings from CT examinations in patients with suspected or confirmed tumors.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective analysis of 63 CT examinations in 57 patients.
- Utilized a 2nd generation head CT apparatus.
- Examinations covered various orofacial regions including paranasal sinuses, orbits, and neck.
Main Results:
- CT scans were performed for a range of tumor types and locations.
- Analysis focused on patients with diagnosed tumorous diseases.
- Specific indications included retromaxillary areas, paranasal sinuses, orbits, and cervical nodes.
Conclusions:
- Computed tomography is a valuable tool for the diagnosis of neoplasms in the orofacial region.
- CT imaging provides essential data for managing patients with head and neck tumors.
