2.2 Imaging techniques
Computed tomography of the maxillofacial region had been performed on 14
patients, and 5mm cross-sections of their jaws and hard palate were
obtained. Plain radiographs of the same affected bones were done in
frontal and lateral projections in 11 patients. Eight patients had both
examinations, whereas 6 had only computed tomography and 3 had only
radiographs. The images were then correlated with the intraoral color
photographs of the tori. Five illustrative cases were selected for
presentation in this report.
