Imaging plays an important role in head and neck cancer by aiding in diagnosis, staging, treatment planning, response evaluation, and detecting recurrence. Common imaging modalities used include panoramic x-ray, x-ray of the paranasal sinuses, ultrasound of the neck, CT, MRI, and PET-CT. Each modality has advantages and limitations for evaluating the oral cavity, neck lymph nodes, and distant metastases. CT is often the initial study due to its wide availability and ability to detect bone invasion and lymph node metastases. MRI provides better soft tissue contrast for evaluating nerve and muscle involvement. PET-CT can detect occult primary tumors and distant metastases.Cancer of head & neck - basics

Ewing sarcoma is the second most common bone tumor in children. Radiotherapy plays an important role in the treatment of both localized and metastatic Ewing sarcoma. For localized disease, radiotherapy is recommended for patients who cannot undergo surgery or have unresectable tumors. It is also used post-operatively if there is residual disease. For metastatic disease, radiotherapy can help control the primary tumor and reduce pulmonary metastases when combined with chemotherapy. Advances in radiotherapy planning and techniques have improved outcomes while reducing long-term side effects.Ultrasound of Vascular anomalies by Oscar M. Navarro

Ultrasound is the primary imaging modality for evaluating soft tissue vascular anomalies. It can distinguish between vascular tumors like infantile hemangioma and vascular malformations. Hemangiomas appear as well-defined, hypoechoic masses that are highly vascular on Doppler. Vascular malformations like venous malformations appear as poorly marginated, hypoechoic lesions containing venous flow. Lymphatic malformations contain cystic spaces of varying sizes. Understanding the ISSVA classification system for vascular anomalies aids in diagnosis and communication between specialties.MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING; physics

1) MRI works by using a strong magnetic field to align hydrogen protons in the body. Radiofrequency pulses are used to excite these protons, causing them to emit signals that are detected by receivers in the MRI machine.
2) The main components of an MRI scanner include large magnets to generate a uniform magnetic field, gradient coils to spatially encode the signals, and radiofrequency coils to transmit pulses and receive signals.
3) MRI images are formed by collecting signals in k-space and applying a Fourier transform. Spatial encoding is achieved through frequency and phase encoding gradients applied during signal acquisition.Role of radiotherapy and chemotherapy in oral cavity cancer
Role of radiotherapy and chemotherapy in oral cavity cancerDr.Rashmi Yadav

Radiotherapy and chemotherapy play important roles in the treatment of oral cavity cancer alongside surgery. Radiotherapy is often used as the primary treatment for early stage cancers or as an adjuvant treatment with surgery for more advanced cancers. Chemotherapy is commonly used neoadjuvantly or concurrently with radiotherapy to improve treatment outcomes, especially for advanced cancers. Brachytherapy can also be used as a radiation boost for early stage oral cavity cancers. The goals of treatment are maximizing local tumor control while preserving function and minimizing side effects through a multidisciplinary approach.Thyroid cancer imaging

- For stage I seminoma, prophylactic radiation to the para-aortic lymph nodes is the standard of care to reduce the risk of recurrence.
- For stage IIA/IIB seminoma, radiotherapy to the para-aortic, iliac, and inguinal lymph nodes is recommended, with 30Gy to the whole field and a 10Gy boost for stage IIA and 36Gy total for stage IIB.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is typically treated with radiation therapy. Concurrent chemotherapy and radiation is the standard for locally advanced disease and improves survival compared to radiation alone. Intensity-modulated radiation therapy provides better tumor coverage and reduces side effects. Surgery has a limited role except for biopsy or salvaging recurrent tumors. Temporal lobe necrosis is a serious potential complication, so fractional doses above 2Gy should be avoided. Close follow-up is needed due to risk of recurrence or late effects.Basic ob ultrasound
