Can MR textural analysis improve the prediction of extracapsular nodal spread in patients with oral cavity cancer?
ConclusionFirst-order nodal MRTA combined with imaging features may improve ECS prediction in oral cavity SCC.Key Points• Nodal MR textural analysis can aid in predicting extracapsular spread (ECS).• Medium filter contrast-enhanced T1 nodal entropy was strongly significant in predicting ECS.• Combining nodal entropy with irregular nodal contour improves predictive accuracy.
