PET-CT (Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography) is a valuable imaging technique used for staging head and neck cancer. Combining functional and anatomical information, it provides a detailed picture of the extent and spread of the disease. The CT component provides precise anatomical images, aiding in the localization and characterization of tumors.

In the staging of head and neck cancer, PET-CT plays a critical role in several aspects. It helps identify the primary tumor and determine its size, location, and involvement of nearby structures such as lymph nodes. It is particularly useful for detecting distant metastases, which allows for accurate disease staging. It helps to make precise treatment decisions, such as determining the need for surgery, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy.
