PET/MRI to Enhance Precision Guidance in Head and Neck Radiation Treatment Planning
The purpose of this study is to evaluate this new technology available at the University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center in the setting of head and neck cancer radiation treatment planning. This study will also provide preliminary data critical to the development of multi-parametric, multi-modality quantitative imaging biomarkers and data analysis models for prediction of outcome in both tumors and normal tissue, which are essential for patient-specific adaptive therapy.
All participants will undergo a diagnostic PET/CT and a Radiation Treatment Planning CT per SOC procedures. In addition, all participants will undergo an additional imaging set consisting of a PET/MRI. It is anticipated that most patients will undergo the PET/MRI on the same day as their PET/CT negating the need for a second injection of the FDG radioisotope used for SOC PET imaging. All patients will receive gadolinium contrast per SOC dosing guidelines for the MRI portion of the PET/MRI. Both SOC MMRI pulse sequences and investigational sequences will be utilized in this study.

Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- Participants with tumors of the head and neck region (nasal cavity, oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, sinuses, salivary glands, and head and neck skin) who are candidates for radiation treatment.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Contraindications for MRI: All patients will be screened with standard UWHC MRI screening procedures:
- Any person with the following will be excluded: cardiac pacemaker, metal fragments in or around the eye, venous umbrella, permanent eyeliner or permanent artificial eyebrows.
Patents with the following potentially non-MRI compatible devices will undergo screening using the standard UWHC MRI screening protocol by trained UWHC personnel: cardiac pacemaker, heart valve replacement, intracranial aneurysm clips, middle ear, eye, joint, or penile implants, joint replacements, implantable hearing aids, neurostimulator devices, insulin pumps, shunts/stents, metal mesh/coil implants; metal plate/pin/screws/wires, or any other metallic implants. Also patients with anatomical constraints limiting the feasibility of MRI will be excluded.
- Issue of pregnancy: We will exclude all known pregnant females from the study to avoid the potential risk of fetal injury upon exposure to the PET scan. Determination of pregnancy will be based upon the standard screening procedures in place for radiation therapy.

- Anyone who can not provide written informed consent

PET/MRI
All participants will undergo a diagnostic PET/CT and a Radiation Treatment Planning CT per SOC procedures. In addition, all participants will undergo an additional imaging set consisting of a PET/MRI. It is anticipated that most patients will undergo the PET/MRI on the same day as their PET/CT negating the need for a second injection of the FDG radioisotope used for SOC PET imaging. All participants will receive gadolinium contrast per SOC dosing guidelines for the MRI portion of the PET/MRI. Both SOC MMRI pulse sequences and investigational sequences will be utilized in this study. If a second dose of the radioisotope is need to complete the PET/MRI (unable to perform both PET scans on the same day) only a 50% dose of FDG will be administered due to the increased sensitivity the PET/MRI scanner. |
Participants will be placed in standard non-ferrous head and neck immobilization devices during PET/MRI (to simulate their anticipated positioning during subsequent CT simulation and treatment).
A head/neck PET/MRI (standard bore size, 60 cm) will be performed
