CT, PET, ultrasound, and MRI examinations all have roles in the staging and surveillance of cancers in the head and neck. Contrast-enhanced CT is generally the primary examination because of availability, cost, reproducibility, and good overall quality regardless of where performed. PET, ultrasound, and MRI have more specific and nuanced applications. Good interdisciplinary interactions with radiologist consultation can streamline the examination process and reduce the examination burden on patients by limiting the number and maximizing the quality of the examinations and image-guided interventions performed.
