Apart from new insights in molecular biology and pathogenesis of cancer, including the role of HPV, and the breakthrough of immunotherapy, innovations in emerging technologies has slowly moved medical imaging to the center of diagnosis and treatment of head and neck cancer during the last decades.
Nowadays, various applications of imaging not only play a central role in the diagnosis
and staging of diseases, but also in active treatment of head and neck cancer as for follow-up. It has even proven to be the pivot of the multidisciplinary tumor board discussions
