Abstract:
Preoperative assessment of depth of invasion (DOI) is critical in the surgical management of early stage carcinoma tongue. Intraoral ultrasound (IOUS) has been recently described as a cost-effective alternative to MRI in the accurate measurement of DOI. We describe the technique of IOUS in different types of lesions (surface, ulcerative, and exophytic); and provide key imaging pearls for the routine use of this novel ultrasound application.
