Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 64 | I am scheduled to have a CT Scan of my head and neck in a few weeks. I am a little frightened because of the amount of radiation connected to this type of test, especially because mucoepideroid can apparently be caused by over use of x rays. I would prefer an MRI. Am I worrying for nothing or should I be brave and ask why not the MRI? Does anyone know which test is more accurate, my surgery was 1 year ago and this is my first scan since surgery.
Adele,
mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the submandibular gland, 05/06, left neck dissection, gland and tumor removed, intermediate grade, margins negative, 9 lymph nodes negative, no rad, no chemo,
11/07 surgical biopsy of lymph node left neck, no cancer!
