  • Title: Magnetic resonance imaging of extracranial head and neck tumours.
    Author: Kabala J, Goddard P, Cook P.
    Journal: Br J Radiol; 1992 May; 65(773):375-83. PubMed ID: 1611415.
    Abstract:
    The role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the investigation of head and neck tumours (excluding those primarily arising from the central nervous system or orbits) has been investigated. Follow-up data were obtained on 45 scans on 42 patients. MRI provided significant additional information compared with computed tomography (CT) in nine out of 17 (53%) scans performed for staging purposes. In the assessment of 19 patients with suspected tumour recurrence, MRI demonstrated a sensitivity of 100%, a specificity of 80% and an accuracy of 89%.
