Hand Book on Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Maxillofacial Complex

With the advent of MRI a non ionizing mode of diagnostic radiology has improvised the area of diagnosisthereby enabling the clinician in formulating accurate diagnosis and treatment plan. The anatomy of maxillofacial structures is very complex and the underlying pathology may go undetected with routine conventional radiology and computed tomography (CT).Although CT gives more details pertaining to the pathology of hard tissues the soft tissue pathology including extent lesion-normal tissue interfaceproximity to adjacent vital structures is best appreciated with MRI.This hand book provides an overview of the basics of MRI and the applications in pathology arising within the maxillofacial complex.
