Overview
This book provides a comprehensive review of state-of-the-art imaging in head and neck cancer. Precise determination of tumor extent is of the utmost importance in these neoplasms, as it has important consequences for staging of disease, prediction of outcome and choice of treatment. Only the radiologist can fully appreciate submucosal, perineural, and perivascular tumor spread and detect metastatic disease at an early stage. Imaging is also of considerable benefit for patient surveillance after treatment. All imaging modalities currently used in the management of head and neck neoplasms are considered in depth, and in addition newer techniques such as PET-CT and diffusion-weighted MRI are discussed. This book will help the reader to recommend, execute and report head and neck imaging studies at a high level of sophistication and thereby to become a respected member of the team managing head and neck cancer.

Reviews
From the reviews: From Oncology News, Vol. 1, Issue 3, 2006: '...I would highly recommend this to any radiologist with even a spartan involvement in head and neck cancer.' This is very much a traditional format textbook dealing with the imaging aspects of head and neck oncology. ! On the whole, the text is of very good quality and clearly explains important issues relating to head and neck cancer. ! this is a valuable textbook, probably best suited to the radiologists ! and the images would provide an excellent source of reference for more difficult cases. I thoroughly recommend its purchase to any unit specialising in this area. (Dr. I. Moseley, RAD Magazine, March, 2007)
