Background: Human being recognition is significant for a variety of purposes, including the humanitarian and sentimental needs others, relatives as well court before rendering decision. In forensic radiology, radiographic tests procedures that are relevant to law or courts performed, interpreted, then reported. Comparing radiography three-dimensional (3D) cone beam computed tomography, has bene...

AIM To compare the accuracy of determining the distance between alveolar crest and cementoenamel junction (CEJ) in digital radiography with two image processing software programs. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this in vitro study, 63 sites in a dried human mandible underwent digital periapical radiography. The distance from the alveolar crest to the CEJ was calculated using DentalEye and Scanora s...

autologous bone is considered the first choice as material of cranioplasty because of its biological and anatomical features. however in some situations such as skull fractures or tumors the bone flap is not available or it must be replaced with a heterologous cranioplasty because of the development of surgical complications. authors of this study aimed to identify which are the best materials ...

A 10-year-old female patient presented with a rapidly growing nodular mass lesion on her right frontal area. On skull radiography and computed tomography (CT) imaging, this mass had a well-demarcated punch-out lesion with a transdiploic, exophytic soft tissue mass nodule on the frontal scalp. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging revealed the presence of a 1.5×1.2×1 cm sized calvarial lesion. This le...

BACKGROUND NICE guidelines for the management of head injury were published in June 2003. Their recommendations differ markedly from previous guidelines published by the Royal College of Surgeons (RCS). In place of skull radiography and admission, computed tomography (CT) is advocated. The impact of these guidelines on service provision in the UK is unknown. METHODS Data on all clinical corre...

Skull deformity in infants continues to be a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Deformational plagiocephaly is a common and somewhat benign cause of skull deformity in infants that must be distinguished from the more serious craniosynostosis, which occurs alone or as a syndrome. Examining an infant's head from above can help the physician distinguish true lambdoid synostosis from deformation...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Tuberculosis of the calvaria is a rare entity, and only anecdotal reports describing its imaging features have been previously published in the literature. We report the role of conventional radiography and CT findings on in the evaluation of calvarial tuberculosis in 42 cases. METHODS Forty-two cases of pathologically verified calvarial tuberculosis were analyzed retro...

BACKGROUND Basal cell carcinomas (BCC) located in the sun-exposed regions are a serious therapeutic challenge. Therefore early diagnosis and adequate therapy should be of a high priority for every dermatologic surgeon. CASE PRESENTATION We are presenting a patient with multiple BCCs, located on the area of the scalp, who had been treated several years ago with electrocautery and curettage aft...

The need to visualize soft-tissue components of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and the knowledge of the growing use of computed tomography (CT) in medical diagnostic imaging prompted one author (E. L. C.) to consider its potential for TMJ evaluation. The experience with our first patient who had an anteriorly dislocated joint disk has stimulated the use of CT for patients in the TMJ clinic. ...
