Figure 4From: Multi-detector row computed tomography (MDCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the evaluation of the mandibular invasion by squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) of the oral cavity. Correlation with pathological dataMRI SE T1 coronal planes before (a) and after gadolinium infusion (b); SE T1 axial plane after gadolinium infusion (c). MRI shows a right floor of the mouth tumour with a suspected infiltration of medullary bone in the edentulous site (arrows). CT in coronal (d) sagittal (e) and axial (f) planes shows a suspected infiltration of the cortex (arrows). The histological result indicated that the mandible was free from neoplastic invasion (pathological stage T3).Back to article page
