Assessment of Mandibular Bone Invasion With MRI Using SWIFT

Completed

Conditions studied: Oral Cancer

In brief

The primary objective of this study is to improve the diagnostic accuracy and specificity of MRI in detecting the degree of bone involvement and invasion in oral cancer. The presence and degree of bone invasion determines the extent of surgery and has great effect on the morbidity of patients with oral cancer and bone/soft tissue tumors. MRI scanning in 3 Tesla (3T) and 4Tesla (4T) MR magnet will be performed on up to 10 patients with possible maxillofacial and/or mandibular bone invasion. We will then compare the conventional imaging results of the patients with 3T and 4T MRI results and post operative pathology results.
