Non-invasive imaging for head and neck tumors
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial is testing a new, non-invasive imaging technique called MSOT to look at head and neck tumors. It compares images from people with tumors to healthy volunteers, aiming to improve how doctors evaluate tissue before surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You either have a confirmed head or neck tumor, or you are a healthy adult.
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You must not have tattoos on the areas that will be scanned: upper back, forearm, upper leg, or lower leg.
- If you are a healthy volunteer, you should not have a long-term alcohol or nicotine problem.

This study tests a special imaging scan (photoacoustic imaging) to help doctors look at head and neck cancer before treatment. It’s for people who have not had first-line therapy yet and will be starting radiotherapy.
This study uses a special MRI scan to measure oxygen levels in your head and neck tumor. The goal is to learn if this scan can help doctors choose the best treatment plan for you.
This study uses a combined PET-MRI scan to measure how much oxygen a head and neck tumor has. It may help doctors understand tumor “oxygen levels,” which can relate to how tumors grow and respond to treatment.
This study tests whether new imaging techniques (called MSOT and ULM) can better see vascular malformations. It may help doctors diagnose and understand these conditions without the need for risky procedures.
This trial tests whether advanced imaging used during surgery can better guide where surgeons remove head-and-neck tumors. It also studies how this approach works alongside planned postoperative radiation therapy, which may be needed for more advanced tumors.
This study tests a new type of imaging that uses light and sound to look at muscles in people with centronuclear myopathy. It may help doctors see muscle changes more clearly. It does not involve any treatment or medicine.
