title: [Multislice spiral computed tomography in the diagnosis of osteomyelitis].
abstract: This paper deals with the results of a radiation study in 34 patients with the clinical manifestations of maxillofacial osteomyelitides. It describes the radiation semiotics of changes occurring in the bone and its surrounding soft tissues of the maxillofacial region in different phases of osteomyelitis. Comparative analysis of orthopantograms and images obtained by multislice spiral computed tomography revealed the benefits of the latter in detecting soft tissue changes and subtle bone alterations.
