“…Presence of any metallic artifacts, limits the use CTscan. 9 In our study we too encountered patients with firearm injuries who had metallic pellets embedded in face. It causes splaying of rays which is called streak effect.…”

OBJECTIVE:Maxillofacial injuries are one of commonest injuries encountered. Roentgenographic evaluation of maxillofacial trauma is of prime importance for diagnosis and treatment of these injuries. STUDY DESIGN: Forty patients were evaluated in prospective four year study. We studied and evaluated the demography and diagnostic efficacy of clinical, plain radiography, and computed scan in maxillofacial trauma. RESULT: Road traffic accidents were commonest cause of maxillofacial injuries. Patients having multiple fractures, mandibular fractures was commonest. CONCLUSION: Computed tomography proved a useful adjunct in mid facial trauma.

“…Three-dimensional reconstruction has been an important advance in the diagnosis and treatment of facial fractures over the past few years. [8][9][10][11][12] However, the usefulness of 3-D CT is open to question. Kashima et al 13 reported the positive rates of different techniques used to detect bone fracture lines during surgery: simple radiographs, 37/42 (88.1%); conventional CT scan, 42/42 (100%); and 3-D CT scan, 39/42 (92.9%).…”

Unhealed old maxillary fracture left for 12 years in a 34-year-old man

et al. 2004

A 34-year-old man had a posttraumatic maxillary fracture, which was left to take its own course for over 12 years. The only subjective clinical symptom was slight mobility of the anterior maxillary alveolus when the patient ate hard food with the maxillary teeth. The patient was treated by open reduction and fixation with a good functional result. In this case, the fracture line was detected on a preoperative computed tomography scan only after changing the window level and window width. It is important to bear in mind that an undiagnosed old maxillary fracture is not easily identified on radiological examination.

Three‐Dimensional Computed Imaging Using a Personal Computer for Nasal Surgery

et al. 1996

Three-dimensional (3-D) computed imaging was applied before surgery in 16 patients with nasal or paranasal disease. The images obtained by computed tomography (CT) were scanned by a personal computer. The contours of the organs were outlined on the scanned images, and the images were then reconstructed using 3-D imaging software. The resulting 3-D images were evaluated and compared with actual surgical images. The 3-D images were found to be useful for surgical procedures, because they facilitated recognition of the topologic relation between structure and lesion. Although this method requires a personal computer and an image scanner, it is cheaper than, and in some respects even superior to, a 3-D CT system.
