“…The comparison studies showed that the sensitivity and specificity rates are 87%-90% and 80%-93% for FDG-PET, and 61%-97% and 21%-100% for CT-MRI [4] . In literature there are many propective and retrospective studies comparing PET or PET/CT with CI at both initial staging and restaging [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] . CI modalities are still the methods of choice for the evaluation of primary tumor in head and neck cancer patients.…”

The aim of this study is to have a solid basis for the effectiveness of the 18F-FDG-PET/CT imaging technique, which has known advantages for patients with head and neck cancers during staging and restaging prior to treatment and to compare this method with the corresponding clinical and radiological methods.A total of 139 patients with squamous cell head and neck carcinoma underwent PET/CT imaging. A total of 146 PET/CT imaging was performed in all patients. PET/CT imaging performed for staging and restaging in 36 and 103 patients, respectively. At least one conventional imaging (CI) as CT and/or MRI was performed for each one of the total patients. PET/CT studies revealed 66 true positive, 72 true negative, 4 false positive and 4 false negative results whereas the same values for CI were 65, 64, 4 and 6, respectively.When all studies were analyzed on the basis of lesion for PET/CT, specificity was 94.7%, and sensitivity being 94.2%, where as corresponding values for conventional imaging methods were found 94.1% and 91.5% respectively. Recurrent lesions have been detected with PET/CT and treatment management was changed in 29 of 139 patients.FDG-PET/CT improves the diagnostic accuracy in head and neck cancer patients.

“…27 The same study is suggested for PET/ CT and MRI. 29 Thus, to consider erosion as an invasion criterion requires that an agreement be established on the minimum slice thickness for detection of mandibular bone tissue invasion by SCC. Likewise, every report should be more explicit with respect to the classification scale used such that values will be considered positive (bone tissue invasion) and negative (no bone tissue invasion) for later comparison against the reference standard.…”

“…For CT, differences in slice thicknesses of between 1.5 mm and 6 mm were observed 27,30 as well as in amperage, with values of between 100 and 200 mAs. 29,30 Slice thickness for MRI also varied, from 3 to 6 mm. 28,29 Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were not prepared because the different scales and criteria used did not permit generation/ definition of cutoff points for the different studies.…”

The objective of this review is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of imaging methods for detection of mandibular bone tissue invasion by squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). A systematic review was carried out of studies in MEDLINE, SciELO and ScienceDirect, published between 1960 and, in English, Spanish or German, which compared detection of mandibular bone tissue invasion via different imaging tests against a histopathology reference standard. Sensitivity and specificity data were extracted from each study. The outcome measure was diagnostic accuracy. We found 338 articles, of which 5 fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Tests included were: CT (four articles), MRI (four articles), panoramic radiography (one article), positron emission tomography (PET)/CT (one article) and cone beam CT (CBCT) (one article). The quality of articles was low to moderate and the evidence showed that all tests have a high diagnostic accuracy for detection of mandibular bone tissue invasion by SCC, with sensitivity values of 94% (MRI), 91% (CBCT), 83% (CT) and 55% (panoramic radiography), and specificity values of 100% (CT, MRI, CBCT), 97% (PET/CT) and 91.7% (panoramic radiography). Available evidence is scarce and of only low to moderate quality. However, it is consistently shown that current imaging methods give a moderate to high diagnostic accuracy for the detection of mandibular bone tissue invasion by SCC. Recommendations are given for improving the quality of future reports, in particular provision of a detailed description of the patients' conditions, the imaging instrument and both imaging and histopathological invasion criteria.

Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common malignant tumour of the head and neck. The initial TNM staging, the evaluation of the tumour response during treatment, and the long-term surveillance are crucial moments in the approach to head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Thus, at each of these moments, the choice of the best diagnostic tool providing the more precise and larger information is crucial. Positron emission tomography with fluorine-18 fludeoxyglucose integrated with CT ( 18
