Zusammenfassung

Die posttherapeutische Bildgebung ist für die Planung und Erfolgskontrolle von Tumorpatienten essenziell. Dabei stehen prinzipiell aller bildgebenden Verfahren zur Verfügung, wobei der Schwerpunkt bei den Schnittbildverfahren Computertomographie (CT), Magnetresonanztomographie (MRT) und Positronenemissionstomographie-CT (PET-CT) liegt. Die Entwicklungen der letzten Jahre in der posttherapeutischen Bildgebung, insbesondere auf dem Gebiet der MRT und PET-CT, sollen im folgenden Beitrag näher diskutiert werden.

Abstract

Post-therapeutic imaging is crucial for treatment planning and control in patients with malignant lesions in the head and neck. Focussed on CT, PET-CT and MRI, imaging strategies for post-therapeutic follow-up have been developed and investigated during the last few years. This review should help to interpret the results of these studies and make the reader familiar with the latest developments.
