Doctors currently use both CT scans and MRI scans to fully evaluate mouth and throat cancers before treatment. This trial is testing whether a newer type of CT scan (called dual-energy CT) can do the job just as well as an MRI alone. If successful, this could mean patients get their diagnosis faster and don't need the extra MRI scan.
Getting both scans takes time and delays treatment for cancer patients. MRI machines are also in short supply in many hospitals. This study hopes to prove that the newer CT scan is just as good, which would speed up diagnosis, get patients to treatment faster, and free up MRI time for other patients who need it.

You likely don't qualify if…
If you qualify, you will have already completed both the MRI and CT imaging scans as part of your cancer evaluation — this trial simply involves researchers comparing those two scans you've already had. There are no additional procedures or visits required. The study is gathering information from patients who have already received both scans to determine which imaging method is most helpful for cancer diagnosis.
