Head and Neck Cancer Imaging

Part of the book series: Medical Radiology ((Med Radiol Diagn Imaging))

Abstract

Predominantly, oral cavity lesions are clinically apparent. Except for important information on the differential diagnosis, cross-sectional imaging provides the clinician with the crucial pretherapeutic information on deep tumor infi ltration. In this regard, the clinician needs to know exactly which anatomic structures (Figs. 6.1–6.6) are involved.
