At the root of the tooth

42
Q

What do T1 and T2 images show in MRI?

A

43
Q

A

an inflamed/ IMPACTED TOOTH

44
Q

Medical CT other names:

A

multislice CT, fan CT, MSCT

45
Q

What is a voxel?

A

=voxel element; piece of information in a 3D image

ex: MRI, medical CT, CBCT, ultrasound

46
Q

What is a pixel?

A

=piece of information in a digital image

47
Q

What is the association of pixel with image quality?

A

the more the pixels, the better the image quality

48
Q

What is the association of voxel with image quality?

A

the smaller the volume element, the higher the detail

49
Q

Which of the following are malignant diseases?

Which are the characteristic features of malignancies?

A
  • Irregular borders
  • Mixed appearance
  • Very aggressive behavior
  • Moth eaten appearance
50
Q

What kind of double real images do we have?

A

hard palate, soft palate, airway

51
Q

Which are the characteristic features of malignancies?

A
  • Irregular borders
  • Mixed appearance/content (not uniform)
  • Very aggressive behavior -they dont expand; they invade
  • Moth eaten appearance (difficult to distinguish where borders begin and stop -poorly defined)
  • Rapid growth
52
Q

What is the difference b/w a CBCT and a CT?

A

CBCT: uses a cone-shaped area detector that does not require patient movement, used for surigcal plannning, implant placement, cysts/tumors, quicker

CT: fan-shaped x-ray beams that rotate while the patient advances, more radiation, slower than CBCT

53
Q

What is the difference b/w an MRI and CT?

A

MRI: no radiation; uses magnetic field, needs H protons, super slow, soft tissue information
CT: ionizing radiation, quick, hard tissue(skeletal) information

54
Q

What is the difference b/w a CBCT and a CT?

A

CBCT: cone beam, used for surigcal plannning, implant placement, cysts/tumors
CT: fan shaped, more radiation

55
Q

What is Magnetic Resonance imaging?

A

=a non-invasive imaging technology that produces 3D anatomical images

56
Q

Magnetic properties of which atoms are we using to make an MRI?

A

H protons / H nuclei

57
Q

What is the difference b/w x-ray and an MRI?

A

x-ray uses ionizing radiation

MRI uses magnetic field

58
Q

If a cystic lesion contains fat or water which MRI should we use?

A

T2

59
Q

Dentigerous cyst can:

A

displace a tooth and cause resorption

60
Q

What are the disadvantages of an MRI?

A
  • special facilities: cant be placed near airports and they are big machines
  • artifacts: if there are metals we need to have plastic b/c magnet can pass through metals
  • expensive
  • lengthy examinates (super slow)

A

exaggerated smile

68
Q

What happens if chin is far up?

A

smaller teeth

What happens if patient is too forward?

A

anterior teeth narrow as fuck

(exaggerated sadness)
