Differentiation between pleomorphic adenoma and schwannoma in the parapharyngeal space: histogram analysis of apparent diffusion coefficient
CONCLUSIONS: Skewness and kurtosis showed significant differences between pleomorphic adenomas and schwannomas occupying the parapharyngeal space, but the mean ADC values did not. Our results suggest that the skewness and kurtosis of ADC histograms may be useful in differentiating these two parapharyngeal tumors.PMID:37665011 | DOI:10.1259/dmfr.20230140 (Source: Dentomaxillofacial Radiology)

Three-dimensional mapping of the greater palatine artery location and physiology
CONCLUSIONS: This study can measure the vertical distance from the GM to the GPA and depth from PMM to GPA and visualize the GPA localization in a 3D manner, which is critical to evaluate the available volume of palatal donor tissues and avoid sectioning of GPA during surgical harvesting of the tissues. Finally, the transducer's small size facilitates full-mouth Doppler imaging with the potential to improve the assessment, diagnosis, and management of oral mucosa.PMID:37641889 | DOI:10.1259/dmfr.20230066 (Source: Dentomaxillofacial Radiology)

Magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of periodontal and periapical disease
CONCLUSIONS: The included studies indicate that the use of MRI in the diagnosis of periodontal and/or periapical disease is feasible and promising. More studies are needed to define the accuracy of this non-ionizing-radiation-based diagnostic modality, in the assessment of periodontal and/or periapical lesions.PMID:37641959 | DOI:10.1259/dmfr.20230184 (Source: Dentomaxillofacial Radiology)

Assessing the reliability of CBCT-based AI-generated STL files in diagnosing osseous changes of the mandibular condyle: a comparative study with ground truth diagnosis
CONCLUSIONS: AI-generated STL files are reliable in diagnosing bifid condyle formation, osteophyte formation, and flattening of the condyle. However, the diagnosis of osteosclerosis using AI-generated STL files is not reliable, and the accuracy of diagnosis is affected by the erosion grade.PMID:37641960 | DOI:10.1259/dmfr.20230141 (Source: Dentomaxillofacial Radiology)
