Advantages | Disadvantages | |
---|---|---|
CT | Spatial resolution Visualization of bone erosion Panoramic | Low contrast resolution Influenced by metal artifacts Superficial lesions not always visible |
MRI | Contrast resolution Multiparametric Panoramic | Influenced by metal artifacts Superficial lesions not always visible |
IOUS | Very high spatial resolution Direct visualization of lesions | Operator dependent: rotational overestimation, compression distortion, need for expert hands Not possible if trismus is present Expensive and not diffuse technology |
