B-scan sonography in maxillo-facial surgery.
Ultrasonography is a relatively new diagnostic aid in maxillo-facial surgery. The method is useful in examining tumours, swellings, cysts and similar processes in the soft tissues of the cervico-facial region. Some examples are given, and some details of the technique are outlined. The ultrasound examination may easily be repeated as often as necessary.
