Abstract

In the last decade, Combined PET/CT has been introduced into the field of oncologic imaging representing a unique imaging modality that scans the whole body integrating functional information from a PET scan with anatomical information from a CT scan. Combined PET/CT is considered a major breakthrough in oncologic imaging with valuable applications in head and neck malignancies. It is very efficient with least possible pitfalls and false results compared to either of its components alone and to side by side reading of separately acquired PET and CT. It can be a standard modality for lymphoma providing a new vision to management and treatment plan. The future of Combined PET/CT seems bright with new applications are awaited with great interest.
