Comparison of Microfocus X-ray CT Images and Histopathological Findings of Oral Surgical Specimens

Abstract

Tumors of the oral maxillofacial region consist of odontogenic and non-odontogenic tumors, and one often encounters tumor-like diseases that require differentiation from these tumors. When performing histopathological diagnoses of surgically resected tissues (surgical specimens), accurate evaluation of the extent of tumor expansion and the presence or absence of tumor in the surgical margin; as well as differentiation from similar diseases are necessary. Hence sectioning at the appropriate position is important. The present study
