About this book

This book is a comprehensive guide to imaging as a crucial part of the multidisciplinary approach to head and neck cancer management. Readers will find a detailed overview of the findings obtained using different imaging techniques during the evaluation of head and neck neoplasms, both before and after therapy. All anatomic areas in the head and neck are covered, and the impact of imaging on patient management is discussed in detail. Full account is taken of the rapid technological developments of recent years, with explanation of the potential applications, limitations, and advantages of existing and evolving imaging technologies – vital knowledge for all members of the multidisciplinary team. The authors are recognized experts in the field, and numerous high-quality images are included. This third edition includes information on the latest imaging developments in this area as well as the most recent staging classification of head and neck cancer.


Reviews

“Head and neck cancer imaging is an immense subject and to cover this logically and comprehensively in a single volume is a significant achievement. This is an excellent benchbook … . This edition is thorough and up to date and I personally expect to use it regularly. I highly recommend it to trainees and experienced head and neck radiologists, who should keep it close to their report­ing workstation.” (Nicholas Spencer, RAD Magazine, February, 2023)
