Squamous cell cancer (SCC) of the head and neck , like other malignancies, should be reported with regard to TNM classification and treated accordingly. Sole anatomic imaging has its drawbacks, as early lesion detection often remains challenging, and non-neoplastic processes, especially inflammation, can mimic malignancies. Computed tomography perfusion (CTp) is a technique that allows quick qualitative and quantitative evaluation of tissue perfusion by generating maps of blood flow (BF), blood volume (BV), and mean transit time (MTT). Perfusion CT has been found to be useful for non-invasive diagnosis of many diseases like cerebral ischemia and infarction, tumoral neo-angiogenesis, differentiation between malignant and benign process and for tumour response to radio- and chemotherapeutic treatment. Recent studies point, that CTp parameters may provide reliable information on vascularization of lymph nodes and may reflect angiogenic activity, helping to understand the changes occurring when malignant process invades the lymph node. CTp is becoming a powerful tool in oncology and head and neck surgery. Depicting differences in tissue perfusion between different structures, shows promise in distinguishing malignant infiltration.
