Use of computed tomography in the preoperative evaluation of patients with head and neck tumors.
Computed tomography (CT) is a sensitive, noninvasive radiographic technique which can produce detailed cross-sectional images of any anatomic region. The amount and accuracy of the information it provides far exceeds that produced by conventional radiographic techniques. The chemosurgeon can find CT scanning invaluable in his preoperative evaluation of patients with large, invasive head and neck tumors of cutaneous origin.
