Direct co-registration of [18F]FDG-uptake and histopathology in surgically excised malignancies of the head and neck, a feasibility study. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Purpose: Recent technical advancements in PET imaging have improved sensitivity and spatial resolution. Consequently, clinical nuclear medicine will be confronted with PET images on a previously unfamiliar resolution. To better understand [18F]FDG distribution at submillimetric scale, a direct correlation of radionuclide-imaging and histopathology is required. Methods: A total of five patients diagnosed with a malignancy of the head and neck ...
