  • Title: The application of panoramic zonography to the diagnosis of maxillofacial fractures.
    Author: Hartman LC, Wolfgang L, Hall RE, Del Balso A.
    Journal: Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol; 1989 Feb; 67(2):214-9. PubMed ID: 2919067.
    Abstract:
    Traditionally, multiple radiographic views and techniques were required to elucidate the nature and extent of fractures of the maxillofacial complex. As a result, patient cost in terms of time, expense, manipulation, and radiation exposure scaled upward. Synthesis and interpretation of the fragmented bits of information from multiple films also constituted a labor-intensive process. A new imaging modality, panoramic zonography, provides precise anatomic imaging of preselected areas of interest with minimal radiation exposure. The usefulness of this technique in the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of traumatic events in the mandibular and maxillofacial regions is illustrated by a series of cases.
