The Christie score for post-treatment response assessment PET/CT in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma: a safe and simple scoring system
Our study identifies three clear results: (a) the Christie score is an excellent treatment follow-up assessment tool; (b) it is comparable with current gold standard methodology showing no statistically significant differences in performance when compared with the Hopkins score; and (c) there was a lower rate of observer variation when using the Christie score, which is trending towards significance.
