Nuclear medicine in Maxillofacial Imaging -a review
Journal Title: IP International Journal of Maxillofacial Imaging - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Nuclear medicine studies often play a significant role in the diagnosis and treatment of oral and maxillofacial diseases. While not commonly used in everyday dental practice, the dental provider should have a conversational knowledge of these imaging modalities and understand the indications and limitations of these studies. The purpose of this review is to discuss the nuclear medicine studies that have applications in the head and neck region as well as their indications, limitations, and diagnostic conclusions that can be drawn from these studies.
