Imaging in Maxillofacial Trauma
Maxillofacial trauma refers to injuries affecting the face, jaw, and surrounding structures. These injuries can range from minor lacerations to severe fractures that impact breathing, vision, and speech. Causes include motor vehicle accidents, falls, sports injuries, and interpersonal violence. Imaging plays a crucial role in diagnosing maxillofacial trauma, as it helps assess fractures, soft tissue injuries, and other structural damage. Here are some of the best imaging techniques used: - Computed Tomography (CT): Considered the gold standard for maxillofacial trauma imaging, CT scans provide detailed cross-sectional images, making it easier to detect fractures and assess complex injuries.- Cone-Beam CT (CBCT): A specialized form of CT used in dental and maxillofacial imaging, CBCT offers high-resolution images with lower radiation exposure compared to conventional CT.- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): While not commonly used for fractures, MRI is valuable for evaluating soft tissue injuries, nerve damage, and vascular complications.- Ultrasound (US).
