“…The design of this study is appropriate to evaluate diagnostic accuracy and is comparable to daily practice, compared with a case-control design, which introduces a bias in patient selection and risks the chance of overestimation of the diagnostic accuracy. 22 In addition, the quantitative analysis of the ADC map and region-ofinterest delineation of this study were made by one radiologist who may have a bias in ADC values measurement. In the study by Ai et al, 16 In this study, the group of patients was heterogeneous with different pathological entities and different age groups of adults and children.…”

ZUSAMMENFASSUNGHintergrund Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) ist ein essentielles bildgebendes Verfahren für die Beurteilung von Kopf-Hals Erkrankungen. Die diagnostische Aussagekraft der MRI ist jedoch stark von der entsprechenden Auswahl und Interpretation der Protokolle und Sequenzen abhängig. Das Ziel dieses Beitrags ist es, State-of-the-art-Sequenzen für die klinische Routine der Kopf-Hals-MRI zusammenzufassen und die Evidenz zu beschreiben, für welche medizinische Fragestellungen diese Sequenzen nützlich sind.Methode Literaturübersicht von State-of-the-art-Sequences in der Kopf-Hals-MRI.

“…DWI has been proved to be a valuable tool in many aspects of HNC management by a number of studies, including but not limited to tumor detection and characterization, nodal staging, treatment response prediction and post-treatment recurrence evaluation (18)(19)(20). For target delineation in head and neck radiotherapy planning, DWI is of value in the identification of metastatic lymph nodes, in particular for small-sized lymph nodes, so as to determine the extent of radiation treatment field (21).…”

Radiation therapy (RT), in particular intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), is becoming a more important nonsurgical treatment strategy in head and neck cancer (HNC). The further development of IMRT imposes more critical requirements on clinical imaging, and these requirements cannot be fully fulfilled by the existing radiotherapeutic imaging workhorse of X-ray based imaging methods. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has increasingly gained more interests from radiation oncology community and holds great potential for RT applications, mainly due to its non-ionizing radiation nature and superior soft tissue image contrast. Beyond anatomical imaging, MRI provides a variety of functional imaging techniques to investigate the functionality and metabolism of living tissue. The major purpose of this paper is to give a concise and timely review of some advanced functional MRI techniques that may potentially benefit conformal, tailored and adaptive RT in the HNC. The basic principle of each functional MRI technique is briefly introduced and their use in RT of HNC is described. Limitation and future development of these functional MRI techniques for HNC radiotherapeutic applications are discussed. More rigorous studies are warranted to translate the hypotheses into credible evidences in order to establish the role of functional MRI in the clinical practice of head and neck radiation oncology.

Diffusion-weighted imaging in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas: A systematic review

Abstract: DWI showed consistent high accuracy and high NPV. However, available literature is sparse and varying ADC thresholds were reported. Compared to current imaging techniques, DWI showed the most potential in lymph node staging and detection of recurrences.
