The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the sensitivity and specificity of multislice computed tomography (CT) for diagnosis of maxillofacial fractures following specific protocols using an independent workstation. The data of CT were processed and interpreted using the following protocols independently of each one: axial, MPR/axial, 3D-CT images, and the association of axial/MPR/3D images. The clinical/surgical findings were considered the gold standard corroborating the diagnosis of the fractures and its anatomical localization. The statistical analysis was carried out using validity test. The association of axial/MPR/3D images added important information in relationship to others CT protocols. |
