Magnetic resonance imaging: A predictor of pathological tumor dimensions in carcinoma of anterior two-thirds of tongue & #8211; A prospective evaluation

CONCLUSION: With widespread availability of state-of-the-art magnetic resonance (MR) scanners, CC dimension needs to be emphasized as the most significant prognostic tumor parameter. Recent evidence, including our study, suggests that MR imaging is concordant with pathological findings, justifying its use in the pretreatment evaluation of oral tongue lesions.
