Evaluation of Oral Cancer with CT Scan & MRI
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
Abstract:The most common type of oral cancer is squamous cell carcinoma. In the tumours of the tongue, floor of the mouth &oropharayx, the imaging to localize the size & extent of primary tumor is very essential for planning of surgery & radiotherapy. Total 50 patients were subjected to contrast enhanced CT scans & were simultaneously subjected to MRI for the exact size & location of tumor as well as its spread to sorrounding structures. The staging was done with TNM classification. In our study CT scan has higher sensitivity in detecting the tumor whereas MRI has higher specificity. Keywords:oral cancer, staging, CT scan & MRI.
