Significance of Imaging in Head and Neck Cancer
Journal Title: Otolaryngology Open Access Journal - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Cross-sectional imaging examinations are fundamental to evaluate the head and neck region. Computed tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, and 18- F fluorodeoxy glucose positron emission tomography (18-FFDG- PET) are presently the standard for initial workup and estimating treatment response in head & neck cancer.
