Associations Between Histogram Analysis DCE MRI Parameters and Complex 18F-FDG-PET Values in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
To analyze associations between parameters of positron-emission tomography (PET) and histogram analysis values of dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) imaging in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). ⋯ Tumor metabolism and perfusion show complex associations in HNSCC. These associations depend on tumor grading.

A Strategy for Using Intraoperative Nerve Monitoring During Esophagectomy to Prevent Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Palsy.
There have been only sporadic reports on intraoperative nerve monitoring (IONM) during esophageal cancer surgery. We aimed to establish a strategy for the use of IONM during esophagectomy. ⋯ In esophageal cancer surgery, identification of the RLN using IONM can be carried out safely, simply, and promptly. Using IONM systematically, the prediction of RLN palsy and detection of nerve injury point seems feasible.
