Imaging of Head and Neck Cancer

This practical, concise and integrated textbook has been written by an international, multidisciplinary team of expert authors and examines all available imaging methods for head and neck cancer, highlighting the key strengths and weaknesses of each method. Information is given a clinical context throughout, and the practical emphasis of the book aims to guide radiologists to an understanding of vital concepts and practical methodologies that will enable them to focus on the information a clinician actually needs when managing a patient with head and neck cancer. It also provides the clinician and surgeon with useful background information and summaries of the advantages and limitations of imaging, which will be invaluable as they work alongside the radiologist to manage patients most effectively. The book is divided into two main sections. The initial chapters provide the reader with a core knowledge of the most commonly used imaging methods in the head and neck: ultrasound, CT, MRI and PET. Subsequent chapters are directed towards individual clinical problems and deal with the common cancers of the head and neck.
