A computed tomography (CT) technique is described which demonstrates the structures and tissue planes in the floor of mouth, tongue and oropharynx. The anatomy, which forms the basis for understanding pathological change, is given in detail and illustrated by axial and coronal images and line drawings.

CT scanning in patients following surgery on the tongue and floor of mouth
1990, Clinical Radiology
Computed tomographic (CT) scanning was performed on 15 patients who had undergone carefully documented major surgery for malignancy to the tongue and floor of mouth in order to assess appearances of the face and neck following extensive resection. The appearances following a variety of operations, often with reconstruction, were identified. Familiarity with the normal post-operative anatomy allows the recognition of small volume recurrent tumour and the implementation of appropriate treatment.
