Computed tomography of fibrous dysplasia

The Successful Treatment of Shepherd’s Crook Deformity in Fibrous Dysplasia by Ilizarov Technique

“…Radio graphically, the characteristic appearance of fibrous dysplasia vary widely, it include a ground glass appearance, expansion of bone and sclerosis surrounding the lesion [5]. Computerised tomography of fibrous dysplasia is useful in demonstrating the ground glass texture of the lesion and particularly helpful in defining the extend of bone involvement [6]. Magnetic resonance imaging does not provide a characteristic appearance of fibrous dysplasia and therefore is a less useful imaging modality [7].…”

Arrested Pneumatization of Sphenoid Sinus mimicking intra-osseous lesions of the skull base

“…20 Similar to arrested pneumatization, intraosseous hemangioma is generally asymptomatic unless it causes a mass effect on the surrounding structures. The CT and MRI features of hemangioma 21 are presented in Table 1.…”

Magnetic Resonance Imaging and [11C]Methyl-L-Methionine Positron Emission Tomography of Fibrous Dysplasia. Two Case Reports.

“…Radiography and CT 6) can reveal the characteristic sclerotic and hyperplastic changes in the bone, and bone scintigraphy can demonstrate increased radionuclide activity in fibrous dysplasia. 14,23) The characteristic MR imaging findings of fibrous dysplasia are well known, 15,23) low signal intensity on T 1 -weighted MR images and high to intermediate or low signal intensity on T 2 -weighted MR images.…”

“…Recently, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging 2,10,12) as well as radiography and computed tomography (CT) 6) have been used to identify fibrous dysplasia, which must be differentiated from other types of tumors. Bone scintigraphy with technetium-99m-hydroxymethylene diphosphonate ( 99m Tc-HMDP) has revealed increased bone mineral turnover in fibrous dysplasia.…”
