Dual time point imaging in locally advanced head and neck cancer to assess residual nodal disease after chemoradiotherapy

Abstract Background FDG-PET/CT has a high negative predictive value to detect residual nodal disease in patients with locally advanced squamous cell head and neck cancer after completing concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT). However, the positive predictive value remains suboptimal due to inflammatio...
