Clinical PET/MR imaging is being implemented at institutions worldwide as part of the standard-of-care imaging for select oncology patients. This article focuses on oncologic applications of PET/MR imaging in cancers of the head and neck. Although current published literature is relatively sparse, the potential benefits of a hybrid modality of PET/MR imaging are discussed along with several possible areas of research. With the increasing number of PET/MR imaging scanners in clinical use and ongoing research, the role of PET/MR imaging in the management of head and neck cancer is likely to become more evident in the near future.
临床正电子发射断层显像/磁共振成像（PET/MR）在全球各机构正作为特定肿瘤患者标准护理成像的一部分得到应用。本文重点关注PET/MR成像在头颈癌中的肿瘤学应用。尽管目前已发表的文献相对较少，但本文讨论了PET/MR成像这种混合模式的潜在益处以及几个可能的研究领域。随着临床使用的PET/MR成像扫描仪数量不断增加以及研究的持续进行，PET/MR成像在头颈癌管理中的作用在不久的将来可能会变得更加明显。
