Microcirculation, cellularity and glucose metabolism may
have relationship or affect each other in the same
tumor. The understanding of their relationship could
contribute to the field of oncologic imaging such as
tumor characterization, guidance for treatment planning,
early prediction of treatment responses and evaluation
of treatment outcome. In this study, we investigated the
relationships between tumor metabolism determined by
18FDG positron emission tomography, tumor
microcirculation determined by dynamic contrast enhanced
MRI, and tumor cellularity determined by diffusion MRI
in patients with primary head and neck cancer.
