BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Small oral cavity tumors are an imaging challenge.
Intimate apposition of vestibular oral mucosa to the alveolar mucosa makes tumor …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Maneuvers that distend a lumen facilitate radiographic
examinations. In evaluation of the upper aerodigestive tract, Valsalva and phonation …

Background The apposing mucosa of the oral cavity makes the computed tomographic
identification of a clinically obvious mass difficult. Contrast distension techniques have been …

We conducted a prospective study to compare the effectiveness of conventional computed
tomography (CT) and puffed-cheek CT in detecting the presence and extension of oral cavity …

MRI is more helpful than CT in evaluating the juxta-oral malignant tumors, especially the
extent of tumor in the buccogingival and tongue region. The accuracy of T-staging in MRI for …

Predominantly, oral cavity lesions are clinically apparent. Except for important information on
the differential diagnosis, cross-sectional imaging provides the clinician with the crucial …

In spite of the many imaging modalities used in clinics, the one that best reflects the true
delineation of skull-base (infratemporal fossa, ITF) malignancies is still unknown. In order to …

INTRODUCTION: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides superior diagnostic accuracy
over computed tomography (CT) in oropharyngeal tumours. Precise delineation of the gross …

Purpose: To determine the diagnostic value of MR imaging for tumors of the floor of the
mouth and the effects of the tumors on the sublingual and submandibular glands. Material …

PURPOSE To define MR accuracy in the evaluation of the T stages of tumors of the tongue
and floor of the mouth. METHODS Fifty-two patients affected by squamous cell carcinoma …
