The application of magnetic resonance and computed tomography imaging in the diagnosis and management of maxillofacial tumours.

Description

<p>The Application of Magnetic Resonance (MRI) and Computed Tomography Imaging (CT) in the Diagnosis and Management of Maxillofacial Tumours. For decades maxillofacial surgeons over the world have been frustrated by the high and often fatal recurrence of certain advanced jaw tumours. This study conclusively proves that Computed Tomography and especially Magnetic Resonance Imaging significantly decreases recurrence of Odontogenic Keratocyst and Ameloblastoma and allows surgical planning to avoid these recurrences.</p>
