Summary
Radiologists can identify common dental issues on CT scans of the head and neck. Recognizing these dental findings on imaging can significantly alter patient treatment strategies.
Area of Science:
- Radiology
- Dentistry
- Head and Neck Imaging
Background:
- Conventional dental imaging relies on intraoral or panoramic X-rays.
- Radiologists frequently encounter dental pathology during head and neck imaging, which can be the source of patient symptoms.
Purpose of the Study:
- To guide radiologists in recognizing and describing common dental conditions visible on computed tomography (CT) of the paranasal sinuses, face, and neck.
- To enhance radiologists' understanding of dental arch anatomy and its relation to facial structures.
Main Methods:
- Review of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings relevant to dental pathology.
- Focus on common dental conditions such as periapical sclerotic lesions, odontogenic cysts, fistulas, and abscesses.
Main Results:
- CT and MRI are effective for visualizing dental structures and pathologies.
- Familiarity with dental anatomy and common pathologies aids in accurate interpretation.
Conclusions:
- Radiologists can play a crucial role in identifying dental issues through advanced imaging.
- Accurate reporting of dental findings by radiologists can influence patient management and treatment plans.

German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen (1845–1923) was experimenting with electrical current when he discovered that a mysterious and invisible "ray" would pass through his flesh but leave an outline of his bones on a screen coated with a metal compound. In 1895, Röntgen made the first durable record of the internal parts of a living human: an "X-ray" image (as it came to be called) of his wife’s hand. Scientists worldwide quickly began their own experiments with...

345
The most common cardiovascular diagnostic test is an X-ray. It produces images of the heart, blood vessels, and adjacent structures.
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...

Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
