Abstract
The development of spiral computed tomography (CT) has been a major advance in the radiological evaluation of patients suffering maxillofacial injuries in the acute setting. Because of the high-speed data acquisition of current CT scanners, detailed information about most facial bone areas may be obtained in a very short period of time, i.e., about 40–60 s.
