Object: The aim of this study was to assess our diagnosis system for cervical node metastasis for oral squamous carcinoma (OSCC) based on the combined results of computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasonography (US), and 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission (F-18-FDG-PET/CT).Methods: 106 patients with primary OSCC who underwent surgical treatment were divided into 3 groups. In group 1, cervical node metastasis was diagnosed by disunity combinations of diagnostic devices. In groups 2 and 3, it was assessed according to a set of diagnostic criteria that included the results of the CT/MRI, US and F-18-FDG-PET/CT. In group 2, node status was considered negative when the results of both CT/MRI and US were negative. In group 3, node status was considered negative when the results of both CT/MRI and US were negative and the maximum standardized uptake value determined via F-18-FDG-PET/CT was
