Quantitative MRI to Characterize Hypoxic Tumors in Comparison to FMISO PET/CT for Radiotherapy in Oropharynx Cancers

Quantitative MRI to Characterize Hypoxic Tumors in Comparison to FMISO PET/CT for Radiotherapy in Oropharynx Cancers

Intratumoral hypoxia is associated with a poor prognosis and poor response to treatment in head and neck cancers. Its identification would allow for increasing the radiation dose to hypoxic tumor subvolumes. 18F-FMISO PET imaging is the gold standard; however, quantitative multiparametric MRI could...
