Abstract
Eleven positive findings were confirmed. Two false positives were due to radiation changes, a recognized pitfall. There were no false negatives. Overall accuracy of the 18F-FDG gamma-PET scans was 88% with considerable effect on patient management. Gamma-PET with FDG appears valuable in the evaluation of suspected recurrent HNC, and may provide a suitable alternative when dedicated PET is unavailable.
