title: [Magnetic resonance tomography in tumors of the facial bones and neck area].
abstract: 32 patients with lesions of the facial skeleton, the neck and the parapharyngeal space were examined with NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Response). The results are compared with CT scanning. NMR offers high soft tissue contrast. Multiplanar imaging easily distinguishes tumours and lymph nodes from the cervical vessels and muscles. In contrast CT, is more useful for the imaging of destruction of the facial skeleton and the skull base.
