In vitro 1H MR spectroscopy of squamous cell carcinoma of the extracranial head and neck.
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most common malignancy of the upper aerodigestive tract. Investigations have been focused on the use of proton (1H) MR spectroscopy for evaluating diseases of the extracranial head and neck. This article summarizes in vitro investigations that have been performed to evaluate 1H MR spectroscopy of SCC of the upper aerodigestive tract.
