We present the spiral 2DCT and 3DCT imaging findings in two patients with oral metastases, one with breast and the other with prostate cancer. In order to demonstrate the contribution of these techniques in the evaluation and treatment planning of such lesions. 3DCT can help to define further the extent of osteolytic involvement noted on initial 2DCT images, allowing better localization and visualization of the anatomical regions involved. We conclude that 3DCT is a useful adjunct for the management of maxillofacial tumors involving bone.
我们展示了两名口腔转移瘤患者的螺旋二维计算机断层扫描（2DCT）和三维计算机断层扫描（3DCT）成像结果，其中一名患者患有乳腺癌，另一名患有前列腺癌。为了证明这些技术在评估和治疗此类病变中的作用。三维计算机断层扫描（3DCT）有助于进一步明确在初始二维计算机断层扫描（2DCT）图像上发现的溶骨性病变范围，从而更好地定位和显示受累的解剖区域。我们得出结论，三维计算机断层扫描（3DCT）是管理涉及骨骼的颌面肿瘤的有用辅助手段。
