Diagnostic value of computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and scintigraphy in diagnosing actinomycosis of the mandible

Mandibular actinomycosis is an uncommon disease caused by Actinomyces israelii. Actinomycosis infection typically manifests as a chronic disease resulting in multiple abscesses, firm soft tissue mass, and presence of sulfur granules in exudates or tissues. A few reports have provided imaging findings of actinomycosis in the head and neck, but computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and scintigraphy of mandibular actinomycosis...
