Imaging of head and neck cancers
Summary:
The head and neck compartment is a complex area and divided into various anatomical and functional subunits. Cancer of the head and neck is the 6th most frequent cancer worldwide and associated with significant morbidity. Patients with these malignancies, require a multidisciplinary approach to determine optimal treatment and follow-up. Imaging is performed by cross-sectional modalities like computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound (US) and positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT), at different points in the evolution of the disease. It is thus necessary that radiologist should be aware of the expected findings thoroughly. This review briefly describes the anatomy of each compartment, the role of imaging as well as the imaging appearance of most frequent tumors and their extension.
