Abstract
PET/CT plays an important role in the evaluation and follow up of patients with various head and neck neoplasms.
The role of PET/CT in the management of a wide variety of head and neck cancers varies based on the TNM tumour stage. Futhermore, because there is a large overlap between tumour and physiologic FDG uptake, interpretation of malignancies in the head and neck on PET/CT can be confusing/unclear.
Thus, it is essential to have knowledge of the patient's prior history, including relevant surgical procedures as well as prior chemo and radiation treatment for proper interpretation of head and neck malignancies.
This article examines how FDG PET/CT is utilized in squamous cell carcinoma of the nasopharyax and larynx.
