Optimizing a perfusion CT protocol for head and neck cancer
Perfusion computed tomography (CTP) images tumor angiogenesis and can assess tumor aggressiveness. However, the CTP examinations are dose intensive. This study aimed to optimize a routinely used CTP protocol for the head and neck region in oncology in order to reduce the effective dose to the patien...

| description | Perfusion computed tomography (CTP) images tumor angiogenesis and can assess tumor aggressiveness. However, the CTP examinations are dose intensive. This study aimed to optimize a routinely used CTP protocol for the head and neck region in oncology in order to reduce the effective dose to the patient and simultaneously achieve the same image quality. |
