Diagnostic Value of Three Dimensional Computed Tomography for Maxillofacial Fracture

Abstract

Three cases of maxillofacial trauma could be more precisely diagnosed by three dimensional computed tomography, which showed stereotaxically the extent and course of the fracture-line. The stereotaxic investigation of pre- and post- operative X-ray images, not only improves the effectiveness of surgery, but also makes possible a more exact evalution of what reconstructive procedure can be performed.
