Background: Bony jaw lesions have varied radiographic appearance and may pose difficulty in establishing radiographic differential diagnosis. Computed tomography is a useful tool to facilitate the correct diagnosis of these bony lesions. Objectives: To compare the volumetric measurement of bony lesions of the jaw using two commercially available softwares for the evaluation of CT imaging. Material and Methods: All patients were subjected for multi-slice CT scanning. The volumetric measurements were performed using two softwares; Myrian and Siemens. Results: This study was conducted on 15 patients of both genders; males (66.7%) and females (33.3%), where 21 diagnosed lesions with an intra-bony space affecting one or both of the jaws were included in the measurements. Myrian software showed statistically lower mean of volumetric measurement than Somatom (P-value <0.001). Conclusion: Although, Myrian software showed statistically lower mean of volumetric measurement than Somatom. The clinicalrelevance of these finding still needs to be determined in future studies. Thus, both softwares can still be useful diagnostic tool for volumetric measurements.
