Zusammenfassung

Die Einführung der integrierten Positronenemissionstomografie/Magnetresonanztomografie (PET/MRT) bietet in der Bildgebung von Kopf-/Halstumoren neue Möglichkeiten der funktionellen Weichteildarstellung. Insbesondere in der Bildgebung von Plattenepithelkarzinomen des Kopf-/Halsbereichs bietet die PET/MRT deutliche Vorteile in der Primär- und Rezidivdiagnostik. Daher soll im Rahmen dieser Übersichtsarbeit der aktuelle Forschungsstand dargestellt werden und das zukünftige Potenzial dieser Modalität aufgezeigt werden.

Abstract

Introduction of integrated PET/MRI comes with advances for functional soft tissue imaging of the head and neck. Advantages of PET/MRI may translate into more accurate imaging of head and neck cancer at initial diagnosis or disease recurrence. Here we summarize the current status and potential future applications of PET/MRI for head and neck cancer imaging.
