Abstract
A detailed and accurate pretherapeutic evaluation of stage plays a crucial role in the prognosis as well as the choice and extent of the therapeutic procedure required for patients with oral cancer. For this purpose, various modern diagnostic imaging modalities are routinely used. In this section, the potential roles of conventional X-rays, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasonography (US), and positron emission tomography (PET)/CT in the staging of oral cancer are addressed.
