The ultrasound (US) can be used successfully for the evaluation of structures and pathological changes of facial soft tissues and muscles of the maxillofacial region. Ultrasonography (USG) is a nonionizing, noninvasive, inexpensive, and painless imaging tool that can be performed as much as needed in a very short time and in children and pregnant women. Additionally, US probe may be used to palpate a lesion to understand the stiffness or compressibility of it, a feature not present in magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography. It is important to know the normal sonographic features of facial structures to be able to recognize the pathology. |
