Osteomyelitis of the Mandible Caused by Late Fracture following Third Molar Extraction

Figure 4

Sagittal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) obtained during the initial visit. MRI shows that the mandibular bone marrow from the right ramus to the body has a high signal density on short-tau inversion recovery (STIR) images and the cortical bone is partially raptured. Moreover, filaments in the low-density area are observed in the high-density area.
