ADC changes during chmoradiation treatment might be of prognostic value in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and allow for treatment modification. To overcome decrease in tumor visibility and increase in delineation variation by observers, functional diffusion maps provide an objective measure to follow response on DW-MRI during treatment provided a good geometric accuracy as is offered by the SPLICE technique.
