 ==Overview==
-Other diagnostic studies for tongue cancer include [[bone scan]] and [[positron emission tomography]].
-==Other Imaging Findings==
-===Bone scan===
-[[Bone scan]] has no role in the evaluation of mandibular involvement by [[tumors]], nor has it been considered useful in the patient's general survey for bony [[metastases]].
-===Positron emission tomography-CT imaging===
-*The combination of [[positron emission tomography]] ([[PET]]) and [[CT]] is a new staging and diagnostic modality in the evaluation of the patient with head and neck cancer.
-*PET scans are used to reveal cancer and to examine the effects of cancer therapy by categorizing biochemical changes in the cancer. A PET-CT scan enables physicians to more accurately diagnose and identify cancer and its extent. PET-CT imaging can be used as a diagnostic tool in the initial evaluation of the patient who presents for initial staging and also for evaluating response to treatment.
