[18F]FDG-PET/MRI Performance in Head-and-Neck Cancers at Initial Staging, Restaging and Follow Up
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: F]FDG-PET/MR for TNM-staging of HNC. METHODS: -edition. Results from histopathology served as the reference standard. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values and accuracy were calculated. Detection rates of metastases and synchronous diseases were analyzed according to patients' follow-up. RESULTS: F]FDG-PET/MR. Its accuracy for lymph-node characterization was 0.86 at initial staging, 0.92 at restaging and 0.82 at follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: F]FDG-PET/MR has excellent diagnostic performances for both T and N-staging in HNC, showing a good accuracy whether it was at initial staging, restaging or during the follow-up.
