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.[1]
