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.

Positron Emission Tomography
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body being...
Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
