3D-CT vascular setting protocol using computer graphics for the evaluation of maxillofacial lesions

Abstract: In this paper we present the aspect of a mandibular giant cell granuloma in spiral computed tomography-based three-dimensional (3D-CT) reconstructed images using computer graphics, and demonstrate the importance of the vascular protocol in permitting better diagnosis, visualization and determination of the dimensions of the lesion. We analyzed 21 patients with maxillofacial lesions of neoplastic and proliferative origins. Two oral and maxillofacial radiologists analyzed the images. The usefulness of interactiv… Show more

“…The interpretation of CBCT images must be carefully performed, always considering lesion location, size and development and relation to the adjacent structures as well as enlargement or disruption of the cortical bone (1)(2)(3)(4). With the introduction of CBCT, bone lesions have been more effectively assessed in comparison with conventional radiography, which does not provide details of the lesion and also produces superimposition of images (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11). Nevertheless, the use of CBCT is still in discussion, since the radiation dose is higher than for the conventional radiographs.…”

“…Atualmente, a Tomografia Computadorizada por Feixe Cônico (TCFC) se tornou amplamente utilizada para o diagnóstico na região dento-maxilo-facial, sendo indicada como uma técnica precisa no exame de lesões orais e maxilo-faciais, devido às suas excelentes resoluções anatômicas 2-4 . Esse sucesso é principalmente devido à obtenção de imagens volumétricas que permitem a visualização e o estudo das lesões de forma tridimensional [4][5][6] . Desta maneira, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar os achados tomográficos fortuitos em seios maxilares em exames de TCFC, assim como a sua correlação com a sintomatologia clínica relatada pelos pacientes.…”

“…The development of computer graphic programs has facilitated the interactive visualization and the qualitative and quantitative analyses necessary for craniofacial surgical planning 1,3,7,8,14,15 . These advances allowed more detailed bone structure analysis, improving imaging interpretation in comparison with conventional radiographs 6,11,25 .…”

“…The use of specific programs associated to CT allows the reconstruction of three-dimensional images of the craniofacial structures 7,8,23,24 . Thus, the visualization of soft tissues becomes possible as well as their relationship with adjacent bone structures due to the high image quality.…”
