title: Evaluation of maxillofacial fibrosarcoma using computer graphics and spiral computed tomography.
abstract: This paper describes the appearance of three cases of maxillofacial fibrosarcoma in multiplanar (MPR) and three-dimensional reconstructed computed tomography (3DCT). The images were analysed by two oral and maxillofacial radiologists and one neuroradiologist. All of the cases clearly demonstrated the usefulness of the interactive MPR and 3DCT in the diagnosis and evaluation of the extent of these maxillofacial tumors.
