## Abstract ## Objectives/Hypothesis: Positron emission tomography (PET) combined with crossβsectional computed tomography (CT) is increasingly used for staging and surveillance of cancers in the head and neck region. Ultrasonography (US) is an alternative imaging technique that provides diagnosti

## Abstract ## Background Metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma with an unknown primary is an uncommon but important problem. PET/CT, as an adjunct to diagnosis, is potentially useful but has never been studied in a prospective, singleβblinded clinical trial. ## Methods In all, 20 sub
Flow cytometric DNA-ploidy measurements were performed on formalin-fixed tumour specimens from I72 patients with squamous-cell cancers (SCCs) of the head and neck region. One hundred and two samples were chosen retrospectively and a further 70 consecutive patients were analysed prospectively in orde
The aims of this study were to investigate the detection of cervical lymph node metastases of head and neck cancer by positron emission tomographic (PET) imaging with fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and to perform a prospective comparison with computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imagin
## Abstract ## Background. We investigated the incremental diagnostic value of short tau inversion recovery (STIR) MRI to detect cervical nodal metastases in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. ## Methods. Thirtyβsix patients with cervical nodal metastases underwent MRI preceding neck dissect
