Using a fresh frozen cadaver head, a series of axial helical CT scans were obtained using varying imaging parameters both before and after traumatizing the head. The appearance of reformatted coronal images was optimized for the lowest radiation dose. A protocol for imaging the maxillofacial region was developed that produced diagnostic coronal reconstructed images from the axial helical CT data.
