| Core Tip |
The imaging approach to jaw and maxillofacial bone tumors is multifaceted and pivotal in accurately diagnosing these lesions. Achieving accurate diagnosis and effective management requires a comprehensive understanding of jaw and dental anatomy, coupled with a nuanced interpretation of imaging modalities. Computed tomography scans are the primary tool for evaluating these lesions, offering detailed information on lesion size, shape, location, margins, internal matrix, and involvement of adjacent teeth. Magnetic resonance imaging complements this by providing high-resolution soft tissue contrast. Key imaging features for interpreting jaw and maxillofacial bone lesions include radiodensity, marginal definition, loculation pattern, relationship to adjacent teeth, erosion of teeth or bone, internal matrix appearance, patterns of osseous expansion, and the presence of soft tissue components. Among these, radiodensity is particularly important as it helps determine the nature of the jaw lesions and guides the diagnostic process. |
