Development of quantitative viability and vascular territory mapping for head and neck cancer by using magnetic resonance imaging technique

Quantitative assessment of head and neck tumor vascularity and determination of its vascular territory of each feeding artery can be accomplished by using arterial spin labeling technique. This technique was validated by FDG-PET, digital subtraction angiography, angio-CT. This technique will be useful tool for non-invasive assessment in patients with head and neck cancer who received choemoradiotherapy such as super-selective arterial infusion of cisplatin with concomitant radiotherapy.
