Main 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.

Feature:

Designed for maximum relevance to clinical practice

Special focus on PET-CT and PET-MRI

Covers applications in all regions of the head and neck​

Back cover:

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. PET-CT has achieved great success owing to its ability to simultaneously image structure and function and show how they are related. PET-MRI, which has recently been deployed in clinical practice, represents an exciting novel option that promises to have an important role in oncology, especially in the head and neck. 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. Head and Neck Imaging in Oncology 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.
