Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
PURPOSE: Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) is a new imaging modality that provides simultaneous functional and anatomic information. Its application in head and neck oncology is still evolving. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Five illustrative cases who were scanned with this technique are presented. RESULTS: The clinical application and impact on clinical management are described and discussed. CONCLUSION: Our experience indicates that PET-CT will assume a more important role than either CT, magnetic resonance imaging, or PET alone in head and neck cancer imaging. |
