Head and neck malignancy: is PET/CT more accurate than PET or CT alone?
Combined PET/CT is more accurate than PET or CT alone for the depiction of malignancy in the head and neck. Radiologist confidence is improved with the combined modality.
Earlier referral of patients in the recent cohort resulted in sustained improvements in weight-for-age and lung function. Survival at 2 years post-procedure was significantly improved. This study confirms the value of clinical audits and subsequent re-evaluation of clinical services.
