Zastosowanie PET/CT w diagnostyce nowotworów głowy i szyi – doniesienie wstępne w oparciu o prezentację przypadków
Journal Title: Otolaryngologia Polska - Year 2009, Vol 63, Issue 4
Abstract
18F-fl uorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) offers advantages over PET alone, which is limited by poor anatomic localization and CT alone, which provides morphologic data only. Fusion of PET and CT images allows for precise target delineation for head and neck cancer compared with CT alone. The aim of this article is to evaluate the effect of the use of PET/CT in patients with head and neck cancer. We present four patients whose management was infl uenced by the implementation of combined PET/CT imaging. We conclude that PET/CT allows detection of recurrent neoplasm, carcinoma of unknown origin, second primary sites, distant metastases, tumor surveillance, staging, and planning radiation therapy.
