18FDG positron emission tomography mining for metabolic imaging biomarkers of radiation-induced xerostomia in patients with oropharyngeal cancer

Purpose: Head and neck cancers radiotherapy (RT) is associated with inevitable injury to parotid glands and subsequent xerostomia. We investigated the utility of SUV derived from 18FDG-PET to develop metabolic imaging biomarkers (MIBs) of RT-related parotid injury. Methods: Data for oropharyngeal ca...
