title: [Computed tomography in imaging in maxillofacial surgery].
abstract: The improved definition and good visualization of soft tissues provided by high resolution computed tomography imaging greatly exceeds results of conventional tomography investigations. It is irreplaceable for tumoral lesions, particularly of the facial region, when not only the tumor but its degree of extension are perfectly identified. In orbital injuries it is the only imaging procedure capable of visualizing the orbital contents and its relation with the fracture line.
