本研究的目的是用2-[氟-18]氟-2-脱氧-D-葡萄糖（FDG）正电子发射断层扫描（PET）来定义和定量颅外头颈部的正常解剖结构。这一信息被用来研究12例原发性鳞状细胞癌。在所有病例中，Waldeyer环和腭扁桃体及舌扁桃体的淋巴组织可与气道、横纹肌、骨结构和唾液腺相鉴别。横纹肌的活性明显低于淋巴或唾液腺组织。在12例原发性肿瘤患者中，FDG PET显示肿瘤的活性显著高于正常组织。在一个例子中，FDG PET允许检测在磁共振（MR）成像或计算机断层扫描中看不到的肿瘤。在34个癌阳性淋巴结中，24个根据MR大小标准为阳性，25个用FDG PET检测到。FDG PET允许检测三个非扩大的转移性淋巴结，这些淋巴结在MR成像中呈阴性。
The aim of this study was to define and quantitate the normal anatomy of the extracranial head and neck with 2-[fluorine-18]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET). This information was used to study 12 patients with primary squamous cell carcinomas. In all cases, the lymphoid tissue of the Waldeyer ring and the palatine and lingual tonsils could be differentiated from the airway, striated muscle, osseous structures, and salivary glands. Striated muscle had markedly less activity than lymphoid or salivary gland tissue. In the 12 patients with primary tumors, FDG PET depicted the tumor as an area of increased activity significantly higher than that of normal tissue. In one instance, FDG PET allowed detection of a tumor not seen at magnetic resonance (MR) imaging or computed tomography. Of the 34 lymph nodes positive for carcinoma, 24 were positive according to MR size criteria and 25 were detected with FDG PET. FDG PET allowed detection of three nonenlarged metastatic nodes that were negative at MR imaging.
