В настоящее время проблема диагностики и лечения рака языка и дна полости рта сохраняет свою актуальность, так как 60–80% пациентов впервые обращаются к специалистам лишь на последних стадиях заболевания. В обзоре проанализированыданные отечественной и зарубежной литературы, посвященные основным методам лучевой диагностики рака языка и дна полости рта. Отражены возможности компьютерной томографии в диагностике данной патологии, оценке глубоко лежащих анатомических структур языка и дна полости рта, а также в выявлении метастатического поражения лимфатических узлов шеи.

The diagnosis and treatment of cancer of the tongue and floor of the mouth is a relevant problem, for 60–80% of patients first seek medical treatment only when they have late stages of the disease. The review analyzes the data available in the Russian and foreignliterature on mainstay techniques for radiodiagnosing cancer of the mouth and floor of the mouth. It highlights the capabilities of computed tomography in diagnosing this pathology, in assessing deepseated anatomic structures of the mouth and floor of the mouth, and in detecting metastatic neck lymph nodes.
