CT scanning in patients following surgery on the tongue and floor of mouth

J Cooke et al. Clin Radiol. 1990 May.

Abstract

Computed tomographic (CT) scanning was performed on 15 patients who had undergone carefully documented major surgery for malignancy to the tongue and floor of mouth in order to assess appearances of the face and neck following extensive resection. The appearances following a variety of operations, often with reconstruction, were identified. Familiarity with the normal post-operative anatomy allows the recognition of small volume recurrent tumour and the implementation of appropriate treatment.
