TitlePositron emission tomography/computed tomography true fusion imaging in clinical head and neck oncology: Early experience
AuthorsYau, YY2

Issue Date2005
PublisherWB Saunders Co. The Journal's web site is located at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/joms
CitationJournal Of Oral And Maxillofacial Surgery, 2005, v. 63 n. 4, p. 479-486 [How to Cite?]
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.joms.2004.07.022
AbstractPurpose: Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) is a new imaging modality that provides simultaneous functional and anatomic information. Its application in head and neck oncology is still evolving. Materials and Methods: Five illustrative cases who were scanned with this technique are presented. Results: The clinical application and impact on clinical management are described and discussed. Conclusion: Our experience indicates that PET-CT will assume a more important role than either CT, magnetic resonance imaging, or PET alone in head and neck cancer imaging. © 2005 American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.
