Despite many advances in surgical techniques, technology, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy, survival rates for head and neck cancer (HNCa) have not improved significantly in decades, with many patients being diagnosed at advanced disease stages. Adequate assessment of oral cavity malignancies is critical for appropriate planning of surgical, radiation, and chemotherapy treatment. Imaging modalities used to evaluate the oral cavity include plain radiography (panoramic radiography and intraoral radiography), nuclear medicine scintigraphy, ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET). This review describes these imaging techniques and their utility, primarily CT and MRI.
尽管在手术技术、技术、放射治疗和化疗方面取得了许多进展，但几十年来头颈癌（HNCa）的生存率并未显著提高，许多患者在疾病晚期才被诊断出来。对口腔恶性肿瘤进行充分评估对于手术、放疗和化疗治疗的合理规划至关重要。用于评估口腔的成像方式包括普通X线摄影（全景X线摄影和口内X线摄影）、核医学闪烁显像、超声（US）、计算机断层扫描（CT）、磁共振成像（MRI）和正电子发射断层扫描（PET）。本综述描述了这些成像技术及其应用，主要是CT和MRI。
