Advantages of Modern CT Over Conventional OPG and 2D X Rays
For the head and facial fractures or maxillofacial fractures, earlier, conventional radiography along with clinical examination played a major role in diagnosis. It was eventually noted that the overlapping nature of bones and inability to visualise soft tissue swelling and fracture displacement, especially in face, makes radiography less reliable and useful. Computed Tomography (CT), also known as X-Ray computed radiography, has helped in solving this problem. This clinical study is to compare three-dimensional (3D) CT reconstruction with conventional radiography in evaluating the maxillofacial fractures preoperatively and effecting the surgical management, accordingly.
