The authors evaluated the efficiency of a Multivox RIS hardware-software system in optimizing the radiodiagnosis of facial skeleton injury. An attempt was undertaken to systematize an approach to the comprehensive radiographic examination of patients with craniofacial polytrauma. It is shown that an image can be postprocessed using the Multivox RIS hardware-software system, which contributes to the comprehensive analysis of obtained images, by applying different radiographic studies; moreover, digital X-ray study has the most diagnostic value and rationality for isolated maxillofacial trauma and multislice spiral computed tomography has them for mixed, concurrent, and multiple injuries. The developed algorithm for examining the patients with facial skeleton trauma unifies and optimizes the diagnosis of craniofascial injuries at different sites.
