[Tumors of the facial bones. Current imaging: x-ray computed tomography versus MRI].

Abstract

This study evaluates the comparative efficacy of MRI and CT in evaluating facial tumors. MRI, with its excellent contrast on T2 weighted and post-gadolinium sequences, is superior to CT for delineating tumor extension, the information essential for appropriate surgical intervention. Both modalities can sometimes be helpful for tumor characterisation.
