[The normal anatomy of the tongue and adjacent organs according to the data of computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging].

The paper presents the normal anatomy of the tongue and adjacent organs according to the data of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Tomographic diagnostic techniques have been proved to be of highly diagnostic value in assessing the anatomy of the tongue and adjacent organs. The authors describe the advantages of CT and MRI over standard clinical and instrumental examination in assessing the anatomic features of the lingual area.
