New imaging techniques: integrating structural and functional imaging in the head and neck.
Traditionally, the mainstay of head and neck MR imaging has been the identification of structural alterations resulting from pathology. Now, the advent of fast MR imaging techniques provides the opportunity for radiologists to integrate structural and functional imaging in the head and neck. This article highlights functional imaging techniques that provide a means toward a complete evaluation of structural integrity and function in various systems of the head and neck.
