Reliability of rehabilitative ultrasound imaging for the medial gastrocnemius muscle in poststroke patients
ConclusionIn this study, the intra‐ and interexaminer reliability of the pennation angle and muscle thickness measurements of the medial gastrocnemius muscle was good to very good. Therefore, we suggest that the pennation angle and muscle thickness measurements of the medial gastrocnemius muscle obtained from rehabilitative ultrasound imaging would be useful for clinical assessment in poststroke patients.

Temporomandibular joint diagnosis: striking a balance between the sufficiency of clinical assessment and the need for imaging
An interesting evaluation of the validity of the RDC/TMD for the diagnosis of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) internal derangements and degenerative joint disease (DJD) changes was provided by Galhardo and colleagues. The authors cited the relevant publications from the RDC/TMD Validation Project, and appropriately used the imaging diagnosis criteria by Ahmad et al. One conclusion by Galhardo et al. is that the RDC/TMD is not valid for internal derangement and DJD diagnoses compared to imaging-based criteria. While we agree completely with that point, we wonder what is new in that conclusion. The Validation Project has already shown – convincingly in our view – the limitations of the original RDC/TMD clinical criteria for hard and soft tissue joint diagnosis. Furthermore, the revised c...

The importance of complementary exams for the diagnosis of temporomandibular joint disorders
First of all, it was a great honor to have our work mentioned by Prof. Charles Greene and Prof. Richard Ohrbach given the relevance of their names in the field of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and, especially, in connection with the development of Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD), the only available tool for research on TMD.

Clinical Pathologic Conference Case 1: Lesion Presenting as a Hemorrhagic Mass of the Alveolar Ridge
A 64-year-old man presented with a sessile, erythematous, hemorrhagic, lobulated, and ulcerated exophytic mass on the edentulous right maxillary ridge measuring 4.5 × 3 × 2 cm (). The patient reported a 2-year history. (Source: Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, Oral Radiology, and Endodontics)

Clinical Pathologic Conference Case 2: A Diffuse Swelling Affecting Soft Palate and Oropharynx
A 47-year-old woman presented with a 2-year history of odynophagia. Her medical, family, and social history were unremarkable. Dental history included full-mouth extractions because of extensive periodontal disease several years earlier. Head and neck extraoral physical examination was also unremarkable, with no evidence of asymmetry, trismus, or cervical lymphadenopathy. Routine panoramic radiographic examination failed to detect any osseous abnormalities. The intraoral examination revealed a 5 × 5-cm firm, diffuse, nontender submucosal mass in the left inferolateral portion of the soft palate () extending to the oropharynx and causing the displacement of the uvula and the lateral wall of the oropharynx medially ().

Clinical Pathologic Conference Case 3: A Challenging Case of an Enlarging Swelling of the Maxilla
A 32-year-old Nigerian female presented to a local dentist with a 2-month history of an enlarging swelling of the upper left labial sulcus, extending from the central incisor to the canine area. The patient had never attended a dentist before this. (Source: Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, Oral Radiology, and Endodontics)

Clinical Pathologic Conference Case 4: A 15-Year-Old Boy With Radiographic Changes in the Left Mandible
A 15-year-old boy who experienced pain on chewing was referred regarding mobility of his mandibular left molar teeth. He was otherwise in good health with no relevant medical history. Radiologic examination of the mandible revealed several dental and bony changes: widening of the left ramus of the mandible with a diffuse increase in bone density, the left body of the mandible was vertically enlarged, the third molar crown was deformed and the root was rudimentary or absent, the roots of the mandibular left second molar tooth were shortened, and the second premolar root apex was also slightly foreshortened (). A 99mTc MDP (methoxydiphosphonate) bone scan showed extensive uptake in the left mandible (). Full blood count was normal. (Source: Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, Oral...

Diagnostic efficacy of cone-beam computed tomography for mandibular fractures
Objective: The aim of the study was to determine the clinical efficacy of maxillofacial cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for the diagnosis of suspected mandibular fractures and to evaluate whether findings would lead to a change in treatment.Study design: CBCT imaging was performed for 164 patients with suspected mandibular fractures (231 sites) but equivocal clinical and radiological findings (conventional radiography). Images were interpreted by oral and maxillofacial surgeons and treatment decisions based on pre and postimaging were compared. Linear regression analyses were performed.Results: For 63.2% of sites (n = 146) the suspected diagnosis was confirmed by CBCT (P (Source: Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, Oral Radiology, and Endodontics)

Prospects and challenges of rendering tissue density in Hounsfield units for cone beam computed tomography
Conclusions: Artifacts challenge the accurate conversion of density values into HUs. Care should be taken when interpreting quantitative density measurements obtained with CBCT. With more advanced software and methods, it may be possible to improve the consistency and accuracy of density measurements.
