CECT has an overall fair diagnostic ability and is a valid and reliable tool in diagnosing the target condition overcoming high reliance on master specialized capacity for their execution and understanding like other conventional imaging techniques. CECT can be concluded for secondary level of prevention for cervical node metastasis of oral carcinoma under early diagnosis and prompt treatment. However, further standardized accuracy studies are indicated to improve the overall diagnostic accuracy of CECT.
