Evaluation of an ossifying fibroma using three-dimensional computed tomography.

We describe the appearance of a mandibular ossifying fibroma in spiral computed tomography-based multiplanar (MPR) and three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction using computer graphics. The usefulness of the interactive reconstructed images, especially using a vascular protocol, for qualitative and quantitative analyses is demonstrated. This technique is an important adjunct to evaluation with conventional axial CT.
