Overview
There are no x-ray findings associated with oral cancer. However, a chest x-ray may be helpful in diagnose metastases to the lungs, a site for spread and metastasis to hilar lymph nodes, ribs, or vertebrae. Jaw radiography may show invasion but may be inadequate to exclude bone invasion.
X Ray
- There are no x-ray findings associated with oral cancer.
- However, a chest x-ray may be helpful in:
- To diagnose metastases to the lungs.
- To diagnose a site for second primary carcinoma.
- As a preanesthetic check.
- To demonstrate metastasis to hilar lymph nodes, ribs, or vertebrae.
- Jaw radiography may show invasion but may be inadequate to exclude bone invasion.
