Computed tomography was introduced in 1972 by Ambrose and Hounsified in England. At first it was designed for diagnostic radiology and neurosurgery of the brain and skull. Soon, in 1974, whole-body computerized tomography scanners went into operation in the United States and then came into worldwide use. The use of computed tomography in maxillofacial regions is rare. In the report two adenocystic carcinomas in the maxilla are described by computed tomography, and the images thus produced are compared to those obtained by ordinary tomography and isotope scintigraphy.
计算机断层扫描于1972年由英国的安布罗斯和亨斯菲尔德引入。起初它是为脑部和颅骨的诊断放射学及神经外科设计的。很快,1974年全身计算机断层扫描仪在美国投入使用,随后在全球范围内得到应用。计算机断层扫描在颌面区域的应用很少见。在该报告中,通过计算机断层扫描描述了上颌骨的两例腺囊性癌,并将由此产生的图像与普通断层扫描和同位素闪烁扫描所获得的图像进行了比较。
