Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) is a radiographic technique used to diagnose, stage, and survey hypermetabolic tissue, primarily cancer. This activity summarizes guidelines for when PET-CT is appropriate for evaluating head and neck cancer. PET-CT requires specific patient preparation and understanding of potential false positive and false negative test results depending on whether PET-CT is used for diagnosing, initial staging, or post-treatment staging of different head and neck cancer subtypes.
