2012, Clinical OncologyCitation Excerpt :A study that found that only micro-metastases of less than 3 mm were present in 25% of pathologically proven tumour-positive neck dissections showed that anatomical imaging intrinsically fails to detect malignant involvement of ‘normal’ sized lymph nodes [35]. CT and anatomical MRI have a comparable sensitivity and sensitivity of 50–80 and 70–90%, respectively [37,38]. The use of functional imaging with PET has the potential to improve upon the identification of malignant lymph nodes based upon anatomical features alone (Figure 1).
Accuracy of MRI in prediction of tumour thickness and nodal stage in oral squamous cell carcinoma
2012, Oral OncologyCitation Excerpt :The prognosis of OSCC is closely related to features of the primary tumour such as tumour thickness2,3 and of the cervical metastases such as extracapsular spread (ECS).4 Although it is recognised that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) lacks the sensitivity to replace elective neck dissection,5 it remains a widespread imaging modality in the assessment of the primary tumour. Accurate prediction of histological tumour thickness (HTT) may influence management regarding surgical access, planned margins, use of reconstruction and elective neck dissection.

2008, Oral OncologyCitation Excerpt :The calculated sensitivity of CT and MRI for detecting lymph node metastases ranges from 36% to 94%, whereas the reported specificity ranges from 50% to 98%.15 The sensitivity and specificity of CT and MRI are comparable.16,17 For marginally enlarged lymph nodes, examination by ultrasound imaging with fine needle aspiration cytology is superior to CT and MRI, if performed by an experienced radiologist, with a sensitivity and a specificity of 76% and 100%, respectively.18,19
