Positron Emission Tomography
FDG-positron emission tomography, especially co-registered with CT has an increasing role play in diagnosis, staging and follow-up of head and neck malignancies, allowing identification of metabolically active tumour deposits. As is the case with FDG-PET elsewhere size is a limitation, as is movement artefact and presence of dental amalgam artefact 4.[1]
