Abstract Between 1985 and 1993, 19 cases of ameloblastoma of the jaw and mandible studied with conventional radiography, CT and MRI. They included 15 primary and 4 recurrent tumors, 15 in the mandible and 4 in the maxilla. Features of the lesions were studied and findings from dillerent modalities were compared to determine t he relative advantages of each. Although plain films widre adequate in demonstrating the lytic and expansive nature of ameloblastomas. CT was clearly superior in showing cortical destruction and extension into the neighboring soft tissues. MRI most accurately determines the full extent of tumor invasion of the marrow spaces, post-operative fibrosis, and reeurrent disease.
