The nasopharynx in oral and maxillofacial radiology. II. Malignant lesions
1College of Dentistry, University of Iowa, Iowa City.
Abstract:
As with part I of this series of articles, this is not a comprehensive review of all malignant lesions to be found that involve the nasopharynx. It is an overview of how malignant lesions may appear and spread in the region of the nasopharynx. Oral and maxillofacial radiologists are reminded that familiarity with this area on diagnostic images ensures that lesions that involve this region will be interpreted as accurately as possible.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...

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...
