Objectives:
To assess and evaluate various jaw pathologies their nature, location, size, extent and effect on surrounding structures by CT.
Methods:
In total, 29 subjects of jaw pathologies and traumatic injuries of maxillofacial complex were subjected to CT.
Results:
showed characteristic and distinct features for various pathologies. Fisher exact test was applied to compare consistency of features like matrix, margins, density, and number.
Conclusion:
CT plays a crucial role in depicting the exact extensions of pathologies and its relation to adjacent anatomical structures in all possible directions.

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...

Tooth Anatomy
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...
Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and 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...
