Abstract:
The diagnostic concordance between MRI and histopathology for detecting perineural invasion (PNI) in Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients is of interest. A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted involving 140 patients with histopathologically confirmed OSCC. Demographic, clinical and MRI data were collected, focusing on the presence of PNI, which was compared with histopathological findings for diagnostic accuracy. MRI is a reliable diagnostic tool for detecting perineural invasion in OSCC, with strong agreement to histopathological findings, supporting its clinical utility in treatment planning. Further studies are warranted to validate these findings across larger populations.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
