Multidetector computed tomography (CT) and volumetric rendering techniques have always been a useful support for the anatomical and pathological study of the maxillofacial district. Nowadays accessibility to multidetector CT scanners allows the achievement of images with an extremely thin collimation and with high spatial resolution, not only along the axial plane but also along the patient's longitudinal axis. This feature is the main theoretical assumption for multiplanar imaging and for an optimal 3-dimensional postprocessing. Multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) techniques permit images along any plane in the space to be obtained, including curved planes; this feature allows the representation in a single bidimensional image of different anatomical structures that develop on multiple planes. For this reason MPR techniques represent an unavoidable step for the study of traumatic pathology as well as of malformative, neoplastic, and inflammatory pathologies. Among 3-dimensional techniques, Maximum Intensity Projection and Shaded Surface Display are routinely used in clinical practice. In addition, volumetric rendering techniques allow a better efficacy in representing the different tissues of maxillofacial district. Each of these techniques give the radiologist an undoubted support for the diagnosis and the characterization of traumatic and malformative conditions, have a critical utility in the neoplastic evaluation of primary or secondary bone involvement, and are also used in the planning of the most modern radiosurgical treatments. The aim of this article is to define the main technical aspects of imaging postprocessing in maxillofacial CT and to summarize when each technique is indicated, according to the different pathologies of this complex anatomical district.

Pathological conditions affecting the male breast (MB) share some similarities with those found in women, while others are specific to men. The first part of this review provides an overview of MB disorders, exploring the most common types of MB diseases. The second part then emphasizes the state-of-the-art approaches proposed in the literature for screening and follow-up with MB cancer patients, which highlights the importance of tailored strategies for diagnosis, follow-up, and identifying high-risk populations. Considering the increasing attention in recent years on the topic, transgender individuals are also included in this review. Together with the MB, it is an understudied category thus far. This review aims to raise awareness among radiologists that MBs should be approached differently from female breasts, contributing to the advancement of medical knowledge, improving patient outcomes, and promoting early detection of MB disorders. The review also provides an update on breast cancer and screening in the transgender population.
