Overview
Oral MRI scan may be diagnostic of oral cancer.
MRI findings
- An MRI scan may be used to examine oral cancer.
- MRIs provide a very detailed view, and can be useful in determining whether or not the cancer has spread, either to other areas in the neck or other regions of the body.
- Information from diagnostic imaging studies may be used in staging.
- Magnetic resonance imaging offers an advantage over computed tomographic scans in the detection and localization of head and neck tumors and in the distinction of lymph nodes from blood vessels.
