Advances in Detection and Diagnosis of Head and Neck Tumors: Integration of Radiology in E.N.T Practice

Abstract

Background and Aims: Head and neck tumors, primarily squamous cell carcinomas, pose 
significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to their anatomical complexity. Early 
detection and precise staging are crucial for improved outcomes. This study aimed to assess 
the diagnostic accuracy and clinical utility of advanced imaging modalities, including 
computed tomography (CT), functional MRI, MR spectroscopy, positron emission 
tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT), and optical coherence tomography (OCT), in 
managing head and neck malignancy.
