| Article Title: | Evaluation of head and neck tumors with functional MR imaging |
| Abstract: | Head and neck cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide. MR imaging-based diffusion and perfusion techniques enable the noninvasive assessment of tumor biology and physiology, which supplement information obtained from standard structural scans. Diffusion and perfusion MR imaging techniques provide novel biomarkers that can aid monitoring in pretreatment, during treatment, and posttreatment stages to improve patient selection for therapeutic strategies; provide evidence for change of therapy regime; and evaluate treatment response. This review discusses pertinent aspects of the role of diffusion and perfusion MR imaging and computational analysis methods in studying head and neck cancer. © 2016 Elsevier Inc. |
