Head and Neck Cancer Imaging

Part of the book series: Medical Radiology ((Med Radiol Diagn Imaging))

Abstract

Various imaging techniques are used to investigate the presence and extent of head and neck neoplasms, including ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and nuclear imaging techniques. To obtain the most optimal results, close attention should be paid to a correct technical execution of the imaging study. This chapter provides information on the relative advantages and disadvantages of each of the available imaging techniques, as well as on patient preparation, contrast agent or tracer injection, data acquisition, and image reconstruction, reformatting and display.
