title: [Post-therapeutic imaging strategies and follow-up in head and neck malignant tumours].
abstract: Post-therapeutic imaging is crucial for treatment planning and control in patients with malignant lesions in the head and neck. Focussed on CT, PET-CT and MRI, imaging strategies for post-therapeutic follow-up have been developed and investigated during the last few years. This review should help to interpret the results of these studies and make the reader familiar with the latest developments.
