Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The purpose of this study is to investigate the use intraoral ultrasound for measuring depth of invasion (DOI) in oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma. The DOI's measured on ultrasound and measurements from MRI scans, will be compared to the measurements made from pathological examination of removed specimens.
