Clinical utility of combined assessments of 4D volumetric perfusion CT, diffusion-weighted MRI and 18F-FDG PET-CT for the prediction of outcomes of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma treated with chemoradiotherapy

Clinical utility of combined assessments of 4D volumetric perfusion CT, diffusion-weighted MRI and 18F-FDG PET-CT for the prediction of outcomes of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma treated with chemoradiotherapy

Abstract Background Multiparametric imaging has been seen as a route to improved prediction of chemoradiotherapy treatment outcomes. Four-dimensional volumetric perfusion CT (4D PCT) is useful for whole-organ perfusion measurement, as it reflects the heterogeneity of the tumor and its perfusion para...
