The FOV size should be chosen carefully to prevent excessive exposure of the patient to radiation. The use of MSCT in dentistry is associated with much radiation and should be avoided in cases where CBCT is adequate for 3D evaluation.

It is defined as a variant of ameloblastoma with specific imaging and histological features. This lesion occurs with the same frequency in the maxilla and mandible, although the predominant site is the anterior-premolar site in both the mandible and maxilla. For our case of ameloblastoma, desmoplastic type, resected from the right anterior to premolar maxilla, the radiographic appearance and histopathological findings were compared. Computed tomography images revealed that the lesion had a multilocular structure with many smaller septa at its periphery. Although expansion toward the maxillary sinus wa...

Although they have been found singly and in association with other developmental anomalies in the same patient, it is uncommon to observe these two anomalies in the same tooth. There are only a few published cases of concurrent DI and DE in the same tooth. The patient in the case reported here was a 27-year-old man who exhibited a novel combination of DE and DI in permanent maxillary incisors. Early diagnosis of this anomaly is necessary. The clinician then can take particular care when performing prophylactic odontoplasty for the DE, keeping in mind that the associated DI presents an increased risk of early pulpal involvement. This article focuses on the...

Histological findings of the labial glands may also not be definitive for this purpose. Here, we report three cases of patients with juvenile recurrent parotitis who underwent magnetic resonance imaging examinations. The imaging results suggest that magnetic resonance imaging may be an effective tool for differentiating between these two distinct salivary gland diseases.

It is an uncommon condition that generally occurs in the maxillofacial bones. This neoplasm may be clinically silent for years without any symptoms. It is usually diagnosed when it becomes enlarged and is incidentally observed during a radiological examination. The radiographic characteristic of the lesion is a well circumscribed round or oval radiopaque mass. In this paper, we present a case of an unusual localization of a peripheral osteoma incidentally detected during radiographic examination with subsequent three-dimensional computed tomography evaluation.

The patient was referred to our hospital with a complaint of painless swelling of the left palate. A slightly enhanced mass without apparent bone destruction was observed in the left palate on computed tomography (CT) images. The mass showed homogeneous signal intensity by both T1- and T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the anterior part of the mass exhibited inhomogeneous enhancement, but most of the mass demonstrated homogeneous signal intensity with slight enhancement by enhanced MRI.

Such pain is very difficult to diagnose because its varied origins may include vascular, muscular, ligamental, or osseous factors. Here we report the case of a 52-year-old male patient suffering from untraceable pain in the palate. Anatomical variations of the pterygoid hamulus of the sphenoid bone may be related to lesions observed in the posterior palatal mucosa and should be carefully evaluated using various imaging modalities, most importantly, computed tomography.

Most ABCs are diagnosed using a combination of conventional radiography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and digital subtraction angiography. ABCs should be differentiated from true cysts or other pseudocysts because their treatment is different. Additionally, unlike other cysts, ABCs pose a hemorrhagic risk in surgery; thus, preoperative evaluation of intralesional blood flow is required. Here we report a case of a mandibular ABC in a 39-year-old woman and focus on its dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) features. On DCE-MRI, the lesion was divided into two areas according to ...

The prevalence of atherosclerosis associated with mortality and morbidity is very high in developed countries, and is the underlying cause of approximately 50% of all deaths in Western societies. Panoramic radiographs (PRs) are an indispensable diagnostic tool used by dental practitioners. In the general dental population, the prevalence of positive incidental carotid artery calcifications (CACs) is reported to range from 2 to 5%. Therefore, incidental findings of CAC on PRs taken during routine dental evaluation may be useful for detecting asymptomatic patients at risk of stroke and could provide life-saving information.

The second molar was submerged, and the third molar was impacted. Cone-beam computed tomography images showed that the roots of the second and third molars were very close to each other. Under local anesthesia, the concrescent teeth were extracted en bloc. The histopathological diagnosis was concrescence of the teeth. Micro-computed tomography images also showed that the teeth were fused by the cementum only, without involvement of the dentin.

No significant relation was observed between PAE and the type of skeletal anomalies. One, however, must be aware of these structures to avoid complications in cases for which surgical treatment is planned due to the occlusion and recognize its role in the onset or perpetuation of temporomandibular joint dysfunction.

The DCE MRI was evaluated by analyzing the time–intensity curve patterns on a pixel-by-pixel basis and diffusion-weighted MRI by analyzing the apparent diffusion coefficient maps. Preoperative information on the physiological tumor properties obtained with these MRI techniques may be useful in differentiating organized hematomas from other benign or malignant tumors or tumorlike lesions in the sinonasal area.

In this study it was used to assess the degree of muscle aberration in patients with thumb-sucking habit. Because this is a pioneering study, it is premature to give a final verdict on the extent of functional changes in the orofacial muscles and possible structural changes in the dentofacial complex resulting from thumb-sucking habit . A long-term follow-up study is therefore recommended; this could provide beneficial information for future clinical practice and for predicting growth patterns.

The incisive canal diameter in the edentulous group was larger than in the dentate group. The nondestructive assessment of the incisive canals and surrounding bone with CBCT showed two typical shapes for the presence or absence of the incisors. These findings indicate the importance of image diagnosis before esthetic restoration.

CCD was diagnosed based on a panoramic radiograph that revealed 32 unerupted teeth affecting all four quadrants of her jaw. Chest and skull radiographs were added to evaluate the clavicles and skull bone formation to confirm the diagnosis of CCD. Family members, including parents and siblings, were radiographically investigated and showed no abnormality. After a 6-h first operation in the lower left jaw to remove five supernumerary teeth, a deciduous canine, and a permanent third molar, three-dimensional imaging by cone-beam computed tomography was conducted as an aid for planning further dental surgery and orthodontic treatment. ...

First, a modulation transfer function (MTF) analysis was performed using the oversampling method. The results indicated that the high-resolution mode showed significantly higher spatial resolution than the wide area mode. Second, the resulting images were assessed after scanning a head computed tomography phantom using the two scanning methods, and profile analysis was performed on the images thus obtained, which confirmed the results of the MTF analysis. The results demonstrated that a shift in the rotation axis of only 146 mm yielded higher spatial resolution.

Previously, we reported that bifid mandibular canals could be classified into four types: retromolar, dental, forward, and bucco-lingual canals, using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Herein we report three Japanese patients with a bony canal in the mandibular ramus, which was independent of the mandibular canal, using CBCT images. A CBCT unit with a flat panel detector and exposure volume of 102 mm in diameter and 102 mm in height was used. Two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) images in the mandibular ramus region were reconstructed using 3D visualization and measurement software packages. Three bony canals in two patients ...

In adults, intranasal foreign bodies are rare and they result mostly from accidents, trauma, or coexisting mental disorders. Rhinoliths are mineralized, calcareous concretions that form in the nasal cavity by deposition of calcareous salts around an endogenous (e.g., teeth, bone fragments, blood clot, mucus, bacteria, or leukocytes) or exogenous (e.g., fruit seeds, beads, buttons, bits of dirt or pebbles, or remains of a gauze tampon) nucleus. This paper reports two cases of intranasal radiopacity.

New techniques complement preexisting methods, and each modality is indicated for specific conditions in accordance with the clinical diagnosis. The aim of this review is to give an overview of conventional and new techniques in TMJ imaging. The literature review includes studies published between 1976 and 2009 that appear in the Medline database. Magnetic resonance imaging remains the “gold standard” modality for TMJ analysis. It allows structures to be visualized without radiation whether or not they are mineralized; however, it is costly and complex. Ultrasonography, an alternative method with increasing importance in TMJ analysis, is a simple, noninvasive, a...

In the head and neck examination, an asymmetry was noticed on the left side, without evidence of adenopathy, paresthesia, or motor nerve deficiency. Panoramic radiographs showed a radiopaque expanded bone in the region of the posterior maxillary sinus and orbita. Computed tomography with three-dimensional reconstruction demonstrated an expanding lesion of the cranial bones, involving the ethmoid and periorbital bone, producing a ground-glass appearance. After the radiologic examination, the patient was referred for surgery with a diagnosis of cranial FD and underwent a cranioplasty. The CT and MRI features were typical for FD, but ...

These calculi are composed of calcium salts, alone or in combination with other mineral salts, and are usually small, although there have been occasional reports of large tonsilloliths or calculi in peritonsillar locations. Most often, these calculi are asymptomatic and small, often detected only by computed tomography (CT), although large calculi may be visible in routine panoramic radiographs. Although tonsilloliths normally do not require medical attention, they may become large enough to cause a variety of symptoms requiring treatment. Here, we report the case of a 45-year-old male with difficulty opening the mouth and previous treatment for carcinoma of the left ...

In the first case, a 21-year-old man presented with a left maxillary canine to molar site transposition. Radiographs showed that the canine was transposed completely. In the second case, a 35-year-old man presented with a right mandibular second premolar that had erupted between the first and second molars. Radiographs showed that the second premolar was positioned between the first and second molars. Maxillary canine to first molar site transpositions are extremely rare. To date, just eight cases have been reported in the English literature. Early loss of the first permanent molar may trigger distal migration of a developing canine bud. A mandibular second premolar erupting between the first and second molars is also a rare ...

The tumor is more common in men than women, and it occurs usually in the fifth and sixth decades of life. Smoking seems to be one of the predisposing factors. The case of a 65-year-old man is described; he presented with a chief complaint of swelling in the bilateral parotid and submandibular glands. Imaging revealed a benign tumor in the right parotid gland, but only inflammation in both submandibular and the left parotid glands. A biopsy was carried out after rapidly increased swelling of the left parotid and left submandibular glands. Histopathological examinations revealed chronic sialadenitis.

Here, we describe a rare case of fibrosarcoma affecting the mandible of a 10-year-old girl. Orthopantomography showed a well-defined radiolucency with a cortical rim typical of a benign lesion. However, occlusal radiographs showed Codman’s triangle, indicating the malignant nature of the lesion. Computed tomography showed a radiolucent lesion involving the buccal aspect of the mandible, and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis. The patient underwent surgical resection of the tumor and is currently undergoing regular follow-up examinations.

This condition is usually associated with not only an ectopic position but also resorption, which may be a progressive process. Dental clinicians should conduct periodic follow-ups, both clinical and radiographic, of these unerupted teeth.

A 55-year-old woman complained of a continuous sense of incongruity for 3–4 years since extraction of the left mandibular third molar. The lesion, with apparent gingival swelling around the left second molar, was painless and was cyst-like in appearance on plain radiographs. On the basis of the radiological findings, a benign odontogenic tumor was suspected, but computed tomography (CT) showed destruction of the lingual cortical bone with soft tissue invasion to the masticator space. The final histopathological diagnosis was metastatic follicular carcinoma of the thyroid gland. When investigating cyst-like radiolucent...

Diabetes mellitus, malnutrition, and an immunocompromised state favor the growth of various microorganisms, including zygomycetes and the normal flora of the oral cavity, which are otherwise nonpathogenic, leading to opportunistic infections. Here we report a case of mucormycosis presenting with extensive necrosis of the maxilla along with rhinocerebral involvement in a 60-year-old patient suffering from uncontrolled diabetes with ketoacidosis.

However, other factors, such as tumor cells, keratinization, fibrous tissue, and accumulation of lymph fluid, also contributed. In benign lymph nodes, the presence of adipose tissue was a contributing factor in low-attenuation areas, as was focal hemorrhaging.

A strong possibility exists that patients with multiple jaw KOTs have basal cell nevus syndrome. Furthermore, cleft palate should be considered an important oral finding in basal cell nevus syndrome because its occurrence was relatively frequent in our study.

Therefore, caution should be exercised when evaluating bone width measured from tomography images. In most locations, the measured height to the canal was underestimated by between 0.1 and 2.7?mm, which confirmed the safety of spiral tomography for estimating the distance related to the mandibular canal.

Although the lesion was suggestive of a cyst, based on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, the lesion was misdiagnosed as a benign tumor, because it was thought to localize to the parotid and most lesions occurring in the parotid gland are tumors. The histopathological diagnosis was a first brachial cleft cyst or a so-called lymphoepithelial cyst. This case demonstrates that it may be difficult to differentiate a cyst from a benign tumor in the parotid area.

We performed conventional radiographs and computed tomography (CT) without contrast enhancement, but it was difficult to determine whether the lesion was a tumor or a cyst. CT images with contrast medium showed a cyst, not a tumor. Histopathologically, the cyst wall was composed of fibrous connective tissue lined by nonkeratinized squamous epithelium. Based on its clinical, radiological, and histopathological findings, this lesion was diagnosed as a primordial cyst. This case indicated that enhanced CT imaging is useful for differentiating between cysts and benign tumors and that there are no specific differences in the radiological appearance between primordial cysts ...

This system consisted of computed radiography, a mathematical morphological filter, skeletal morphometric measurements, star volume analysis, and node-strut analysis. The computed radiographic data were morphologically processed, and the trabecular structure was extracted as binary skeletal images. Analyses were made with regard to the skeletal number, separation, perimeter, complexity, continuity, and connectivity. A trial study of this system was used to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of vitamin K2 in the osteoporotic patients.

Many abnormalities of the chest detected by chest radiograph are not detectable by other diagnostic methods. Oral and maxillofacial radiologists and physicians must be aware of both the usefulness and the limitations of this technique. Familiarity with the common radiographic patterns, and an ability to the image exactly are important. Finally, knowledge of appropriate indications for such an examination and knowledge the seriousness of the thoracic disease are also important for the overall care of any patient.

On the basis of the results of this study, if signs of displacement and thinning of the central skull base are present, the existence of a maxillofacial lesion is somewhat more likely than that of a benign tumor. Both these CT findings are valuable in makings differential diagnosis of maxillofacial tumors.

However, they should select proper modalities by relying on their knowledge of the advantages and limitations of the modalities. Postoperatively, periapical radiography is recommended for detection of failure of osseointegration, and direct digital substraction radiography is recommended for measurement of alveolar bone loss. Computed tomography is recommended for detection of cortical perforation and violation of important internal structures.

A data set of 1,116 lymph nodes verified histopathologically was used to train and evaluate the neural networks. Various three-layer feed-forward networks with a back-propagation algorithm were employed in this study. Performance of the neural networks was compared with that of radiologists and discriminant analysis (Quantification theory type II). Neural networks had a sensitivity of 80.6% and a specificity of 94.6%. Diagnostic accuracy of the neural networks was 93.6%, which was comparable to those of discriminant analysis and clinical radiologists.

Female ICR mice were given ovariectomies or sham operations at 9 weeks of age, then housed for 2 weeks during which they were allowed free access to a normal diet. Subsequently, the mice were divided into 3 groups: sham-operated mice fed a normal diet, OVX mice fed a normal diet, and OVX mice fed a diet containing EBP. After the mice in these 3 groups had been housed for 2 months (during which time they were allowed free access to their respective diets), they were dissected and analyzed. The BMD values in the removed femurs were measured by peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT). Femoral total and femoral cancellous ...

The effect of the unsharp masking technique with several combinations of mask size and weighting factor on image resolution was investigated using a spatial frequency phantom made of bone-equivalent material. The 3D-CT images were obtained with scans perpendicular to and parallel to the phantom plates. The contrast transfer function (CTF) and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of each spatial frequency component were measured. The FWHM was expressed as a ratio against the actual thickness of phantom plate. The effect on pseudoforamina was assessed using sliced CT images obtained in clinical bony 3D-CT examinations...

We used a 48-well culture plate in which the explants can be cultured indivisually, and only 300 μ 1 of medium is needed for each well. In order to optimize the culture results, we systematically studied the influence of main “culture conditions” such as tilt degree of the culturing palate, rotation speed, and addition of ascorbic acid to the medium. This system allows culturing of palates from day 13.5 of gestation to day 16.5 under serum-free conditions using a chemically defined medium, which resulted in 78% of the palates growing fused. Utilizing this culture system, the dir...

The clinical and advanced imaging features of Langerhans cell histiocytosis in an 18-year-old male are presented. CT images showed an diffuse, ill-defined, expansile lesion of heterogeneous density extending from the anterior mandibular area to the right molar area. CT was particularly helpful in confirming a cortical invasion. T1-weighted gradient echo MR images revealed a heterogeneously low-to high-signal intensity lesion in the right side of the mandible. T2-weighted spin echo MR images showed a heterogeneously iso-to high-signal intensity area with low-intensity areas. Multidirectional MR images revealed the extent of the lesion in the mandibular bone marrow more clearly than CT. Content TypeJournal A...

Our second objective was to determine the optimum exposure factors. Radiographs of 75 extracted premolars with and without clinically observed discolorations or cavities were obtained at exposure settings of 70 kVp and 90 kVp. The observers diagnosed dental caries in radiographs exposed with the two types of detectors. The results were analyzed with Receiver Operating Curve (ROC) technique. The averaged areas under the ROC curves were plotted as functions of exposure to obtain Diagnostic Accuracy (DA) curves. Content TypeJournal Article JournalOral ...

Fifteen dentition phantoms were constructed. Each contained 4 teeth, consisting of premolar and molar teeth with 6 proximal surfaces. Mechanical defects were created randomly on the proximal surfaces and plugged with dentine powder to simulate caries. Fifteen images of each modality were rated by nine dentists in separate sessions according to their confidence in their ability to detect the simulated caries. The images examined were as follows: original CDR images, CDR images magnified 2×, CDR ...

Using studies of morphology in extraction of skeletal patterns of spiculae in mammograms as a theoretical framework, we applied a morphological filter (a combination of a skeleton operation and a single structuring element) to the extraction of skeletal patterns of bone trabeculae on computed radiographic (CR) images. Then, the comparison of the original images with the extracted skeletal patterns and the relationship between the sequence number(n) of the operation and the extracted skeletal patterns was reviewed. The comparison showed that skeletal patterns of the original image were extracted as binary images when using a morphological filter, and that, when...

Limited bone destruction was detected on conventional radiography, including panoramic radiography, whereas a more extensive lesion was seen on computed tomography (CT), and new bone formation was clearly seen in the three-dimensional CT image. CT was superior to conventional radiography, including panoramic radiography, for detecting the extent of bone destruction and new bone formation in the lesion, allowing more accurate evaluation of the osteosarcoma.
