Objectives: To evaluate cervical lymph nodes in OSCC with fast spin echo MRI. ii) To evaluate cervical lymph nodes in OSCC with Diffusion Weighted MRI & estimate its ADC value. iii) To compare the findings of cervical lymph nodes in OSCC with diffusion-weighted MRI, ADC mapping and fast spin echo MRI with histopathology. Methods: The study was conducted on 25 histopathologically proven OSCC patients. Enlarged cervical lymph nodes were assessed by Fast spin echo MRI and diffusion weighted MRI. Cervical lymph nodal status in OSCC regarding whether it is benign or malignant was evaluated by diffusion-weighted MRI, ADC mapping and Fast Spin Echo MRI characteristics. These values were compared on post operative histopathology for lymph nodal metastasis. Results: By fast spin echo MRI: Number of true-positive was 05 (4.23%). Number of false-positive was 05(4.23%). Sensitivity was 32.25%. Specificity was 95.10%. Accuracy was 50% positive predictive value (PPV) was 50%. Negative predictive value (NPV) was 86.44%. By DWI MRI: Number of true-positive was 12 (10.16%). Number of false-positive was 12 (10.16%). Sensitivity was 75%. Specificity was 88.24%. Accuracy was 96.69%. PPV was 50%. NPV was 86.44%. Conclusions: DW imaging performed with ADC values showed higher accuracy than fast spin-echo MRI and can provide added value in cervical nodal metastases in OSCC.
