Diagnostic abilities of 3T MRI for assessing mandibular invasion of squamous cell carcinoma in the oral cavity: comparison with 64-row multidetector CT.

CONCLUSIONS:: In the evaluation of mandibular invasion, 3T MRI was not as accurate as MDCT. In particular, 2D FSE sequences showed significantly lower specificity than MDCT in evaluating the extent of mandibular invasion. The use of 3D VIBE sequence slightly improved the low specificity of 2D FSE sequences. PMID: 30633558 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
