Effect of radiochemotherapy on T2* MRI in HNSCC and its relation to FMISO PET derived hypoxia and FDG PET

Abstract Background To assess the effect of radiochemotherapy (RCT) on proposed tumour hypoxia marker transverse relaxation time (T2*) and to analyse the relation between T2* and 18F-misonidazole PET/CT (FMISO-PET) and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT (FDG-PET). Methods Ten patients undergoing definiti...
