MSCT DIAGNOSIS OF CANCER OF THE ORAL CAVITY AND OROPHARYNX
Nodira Hoshimova Sharofiddinova , Termez Branch Of Tashkent Medical Academy, UzbekistanAbstract
Tumours in the oral cavity and oropharynx differ in presentation and prognosis and the detection of spread of tumour from one subsite to another is essential for the T-staging. This article reviews the anatomy and describes the pattern of spread of different cancers arising in the oral cavity and oropharynx; the imaging findings on computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are also described. Brief mention is made on the role of newer imaging modalities such as [(18)F]fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography, perfusion studies and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging.
