Abstract

Contemporary diagnostic imaging have a huge impact on detecting, planning and monitoring the treatment of patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma. Imaging studies are performed to detect malignancies, assess staging (primary tumour size and localisation) metastases in regional lymph nodes and distant metastases, response to radiotherapy or chemotherapy and detect recurrence and disease dissemination. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are referred to as the “gold standard” for imaging oral cancer. The images are evaluated along with clinical and histopathological data. An optimal combination of preoperative examination methods to predict bone invasion is necessary for the planning of definitive therapy for oral cancer patients.
