Simulation based on cephalometric and CT data is particularly useful in the management of jaw deformities, both for evaluation and prognostic prediction. As such imaging examinations cover a wide anatomical region, it is not uncommon for various incidental pathologies to be discovered. This review emphasizes the necessity of evaluating the entire imaged area in addition to the chief complaint. Furthermore, it outlines the essential anatomical structures that should be assessed during diagnostic imaging performed prior to representative surgical procedures for jaw deformities (e.g., sagittal split ramus osteotomy and Le Fort I osteotomy). This review paper is descriptive in nature, incorporating our facility\u2019s empirical aspects, and presents representative cases in a narrative format; it is not a systematic review. In other word, as the evidence-based literature does not cover all aspects of pretreatment evaluation, these criteria are based on the past experience of the authors.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics16020367","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,23]],"date-time":"2026-01-23T17:52:38Z","timestamp":1769190758000},"page":"367","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Imaging Evaluation for Jaw Deformities: Diagnostic Workup and Pre-Treatment Imaging Checklist for Orthognathic Surgery"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-9426-184X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hiroki","family":"Tsurushima","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Oral Medicine, Department of Physical Function, Kyushu Dental University, Kitakyushu 803-8580, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Masafumi","family":"Oda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Kyushu Dental University, Kitakyushu 803-8580, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3642-289X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kaori","family":"Kometani-Gunjikake","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Orofacial Functions and Orthodontics, Kyushu Dental University, Kitakyushu 803-8580, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tomohiko","family":"Shirakawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Orofacial Functions and Orthodontics, Kyushu Dental University, Kitakyushu 803-8580, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shinobu","family":"Matsumoto-Takeda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Kyushu Dental University, Kitakyushu 803-8580, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nao","family":"Wakasugi-Sato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Kyushu Dental University, Kitakyushu 803-8580, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shun","family":"Nishimura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Kyushu Dental University, Kitakyushu 803-8580, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kazuya","family":"Haraguchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Maxillofacial Oral Surgery, Kyushu Dental University, Kitakyushu 803-8580, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-1135-4692","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Susumu","family":"Nishina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Kyushu Dental University, Kitakyushu 803-8580, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3098-5440","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tatsuo","family":"Kawamoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Orofacial Functions and Orthodontics, Kyushu Dental University, Kitakyushu 803-8580, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6586-2539","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manabu","family":"Habu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Maxillofacial Oral Surgery, Kyushu Dental University, Kitakyushu 803-8580, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Izumi","family":"Yoshioka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Oral Medicine, Department of Physical Function, Kyushu Dental University, Kitakyushu 803-8580, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Toshiaki","family":"Arimatsu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Arimatsu Orthodontic Dental Office, Kitakyushu 806-0021, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yasuhiro","family":"Morimoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Kyushu Dental University, Kitakyushu 803-8580, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"The Japan Society for Jaw Deformities (2022).
