title: Imaging of cysts and odontogenic tumors of the jaw. Definition and classification.
abstract: For the evaluation of jaw cysts and odontogenic tumors, the radiologic examinations include conventional films, computed tomographic (CT) scans, and magnetic resonance (MR) images. The indications for these radiologic methods are discussed along with the radiologic findings for the various cysts and tumors described. The differential diagnosis of these lesions is also included in the discussion.
