Computed Tomography Perfusion of Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Upper Aerodigestive Tract

Abstract

We obtained baseline perfusion data for head and neck squamous cell cancers and compared it with adjacent normal structures. Our initial results suggest that CT perfusion parameters (CP, BF, BV, and MTT) can be used to help differentiate head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCCA) from adjacent normal tissue.
