Abstract:
Head and neck cancers are a diverse group of cancers with high morbidity and mortality within an area of complex anatomy. High-quality anatomic and functional imaging is essential for preoperative, chemotherapeutic, and radiotherapy planning. Early studies show that hybrid PET-MR imaging offers great potential for improving the imaging of head and neck cancers. Furthermore, advanced MR imaging techniques may also be incorporated to further enhance the diagnostic value of the combined modality.
