  • Title: [18F]-fluoride positron emission tomography for imaging condylar hyperplasia.
    Author: Laverick S, Bounds G, Wong WL.
    Journal: Br J Oral Maxillofac Surg; 2009 Apr; 47(3):196-9. PubMed ID: 18926607.
    Abstract:
    The management of condylar hyperplasia depends on the diagnosis of continued growth in the affected condyle, and there is currently no satisfactory way of imaging it. [(18)F]-fluoride positron emission tomography (PET) was included in the investigation of 5 patients who were suspected of having condylar hyperplasia, and the results were correlated with the operative findings. The technique correctly identified condylar hyperplasia in all patients. Our results suggest that [(18)F]-fluoride PET is a valid way of assessing patients with condylar hyperplasia.
