Main Article Content

Abstract

Objectives:  Describing imaging characteristics and assessing values of MRI in the staging of mobile tongue cancer. Patients and methods: 52 patients with tongue tumors were selected to be in a descriptive study, in which they ưere diagnosed and had pathology results from May 2018 to July 2019 at Vietnam National Cancer Hospital. Results: On T1, 67.4% patients showed low signal and 96.2% patients showed a contrast enhancement. 96.2% patients revealed hyperintense on STIR. A major of patients showed nonhomogeneous features on MRI (65.4%). The Cohen’s Kappa score of 0.645 had a good correlatiom between MRI results and histopathology in distinguishing T-staging of tongue tumour. Moreover, the sensitivity and negative predicted value of MRI on N staging was 96% and 92.3%, respectively. Conclusion: Most patients with mobile tongue cancer showed nonhomogeneous, low signal and contrast enhancement on T1, revealed hyperintense on STIR. MRI was a valuable method on staging mobile tongue cancer.
