Ultrasonography is sufficient for evaluation of mental foramen?

CONCLUSIONS: USG is quite effective in showing the shape, size, and the location of the MF easily and rapidly. However, it is not as accurate as CBCT in measuring the distance from the MF to alveolar crest. And also it allows to examine the flow rate of mental artery with its Doppler modes.
