Background: The present study was conducted to analyze the value of ([F-18] fluoromisonidazole (FMISO) and [F-18]-2-fluoro-2'-deoxyglucose (FDG) PET as well as color pixel density (CPD) and tumor perfusion (TP) assessed by color duplex sonography (CDS) for determination of therapeutic relevant hypoxia. As a standard for measuring tissue oxygenation in human tumors, the invasive, computerized polarographic needle electrode system (pO(2) histography) was used for comparing the different non invasive measurements.Methods: Until now a total of 38 Patients with malignancies of the head and neck were examined. Tumor tissue pO(2) was measured using a pO(2)-histograph. The needle electrode was placed CTcontrolled in the tumor without general or local anesthesia. To assess the biological and clinical relevance of oxygenation measurement, the relative frequency of pO(2) readings, with values
