The Agreement Rate between Radiographic Interpretation and Histopathologic Diagnosis of Jaw Lesions.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To determine the agreement rate between histopathologic diagnosis and radiographic interpretation of jaw lesions.

Methods

Cases with jaw pathologies that have diagnostically adequate histopathologic samples and radiographic examinations were reviewed retrospectively. Two board-certified oral and maxillofacial pathologists (OMFP) independently determined the histopathologic diagnosis, while two board-certified oral and maxillofacial radiologists (OMFR) determined the radiographic interpretations independently. Then the histopathologic diagnosis and the radiographic interpretation were compared for agreement.

Results

A total of 104 cases (53% females) were included with a mean age of 31 years. The agreement rate between histopathologic diagnosis and radiograp
