## Overview

[edit | edit source]

There are no x-ray findings associated with oral cancer. However, a chest x-ray may be helpful in diagnose metastases to the lungs, a site for spread and metastasis to hilar lymph nodes, ribs, or vertebrae. Jaw radiography may show invasion but may be inadequate to exclude bone invasion.

## X Ray

[edit | edit source]

* There are no x-ray findings associated with oral cancer.
* However, a chest x-ray may be helpful in:
* Diagnosing metastases to the lungs.
* Diagnosing a site for second primary carcinoma.
* As a pre-anesthetic check.
* Demonstrating metastasis to hilar lymph nodes, ribs, or vertebrae.
* Jaw radiography may also show invasion but can be inadequate by excluding bone invasion.
