Angiography is useful in following selected patients with chemodectoma of the head and neck treated by radiotherapy. Comparison of preradiotherapy and post radiotherapy angiograms in three patients revealed a decrease in the following: size of feeding arteries, size of tumor, intensity of tumor opacification, and degree of venous shunting. When chemodectomas are not amenable to physical examination and when the question of radiotherapy complication vs further growth of tumor arises, postradiotheraphy angiography may be of particular value.
血管造影术对于随访经放射治疗的部分头颈部化学感受器瘤患者很有用。对三名患者放疗前和放疗后的血管造影片进行比较，发现以下各项有所减少：供血动脉大小、肿瘤大小、肿瘤显影强度以及静脉分流程度。当化学感受器瘤无法通过体格检查明确，且出现放疗并发症与肿瘤进一步生长的问题时，放疗后的血管造影术可能具有特殊价值。
