From: [18F]FDG PET/CT in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma: a head-to-head between visual point-scales and the added value of multi-modality imaging

Fig. 7

♂, 69yo. with moderately differentiated squamous carcinoma of the oral cavity histologically proven. Baseline PET/CT showed a pathological FDG-uptake in the oral cavity. In addition, a moderate uptake was detected in the left retromandibular lymph node. Afterward, the patient underwent concomitant chemo-radiotherapy. End-of-treatment (EOT) PET/CT, performed 14 weeks after radiotherapy, showed no significant uptake both in the oral cavity and retromandibular lymph node, which appeared also calcific. Scores assigned are consistent with the metabolic response and confirmed at the follow-up PET/CT performed about 10 months later
