Full Description
Head and neck oncologic imaging is challenging owing to the complex anatomy, the ongoing changes in imaging paradigms with PET-CT, PET-MRI, CT, and MRI, and the rapid evolution of therapy. Head and Neck Imaging in Oncology distils this complexity with the aim of providing simplified information and guidance relevant to everyday clinical practice. The focus of the book is in particular on the combined modalities of PET-CT and PET-MRI. Applications of these modalities are described and illustrated for each region of the head and neck, including the oral cavity, oropharynx, larynx, nasopharynx, salivary glands, thyroid, skull base, neck nodes, and cervical spine. This book will be an ideal guide and source of information for radiologists, nuclear medicine physicians, otolaryngologists, oncologists, radiation oncologists, trainees in these specialities, and medical students.
