Use of MRI and FDG‐PET/CT to predict fixation of advanced hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma to prevertebral space

Background We evaluated the ability of different (18F)fluoro‐deoxy‐d‐glucose (FDG)‐positron emission tomography (PET)‐based and magnetic resonance (MR)‐based parameters to identify prevertebral space (PVS) infiltration by hypopharyngeal carcinoma. Methods Retrospective study on 59 patients with adva...

Zusammenfassung:Background We evaluated the ability of different (18F)fluoro‐deoxy‐d‐glucose (FDG)‐positron emission tomography (PET)‐based and magnetic resonance (MR)‐based parameters to identify prevertebral space (PVS) infiltration by hypopharyngeal carcinoma. Methods Retrospective study on 59 patients with advanced hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma undergoing cross‐sectional imaging and triple endoscopy for staging. Results Obliteration of retropharyngeal fat plane on T1‐weighted MR images was found more often (P
