Voxel based comparison and texture analysis of 18F-FDG and 18F-FMISO PET of patients with head-and-neck cancer.

Voxel based comparison and texture analysis of 18F-FDG and 18F-FMISO PET of patients with head-and-neck cancer.

BACKGROUND:Hypoxia can induce radiation resistance and is an independent prognostic marker for outcome in head and neck cancer. As 18F-FMISO (FMISO), a hypoxia tracer for PET, is far less common than 18F-FDG (FDG) and two separate PET scans result in doubled cost and radiation exposure to the patien...
