15 FDG PET-CT features are also nonspecific and may also mimic recurrent malignancy due to increased metabolic activity in the affected areas. Cartilage lacks blood vessels, which makes it less vulnerable to the effects of radiotherapy. However, tumor or trauma may damage the perichondrium, resulting in exposure to laryngeal bacteria, with resultant perichondritis16 and chondroradionecrosis. Chon- droradionecrosis (Fig. 8,16 Radiological features are nonspecific and include the presence of gas bubbles, cartilage fragmentation, and sclerosis.
28). Ultrasound High-frequency ultrasound is extremely useful in the detection of superficial recurrences such as skin, parotid, and thyroid local recurrence as well as the detection of nodal recurrence. 31 Ultrasonography is usually able to distinguish between reactive and malignant nodes. Ultrasound assessment of nodal disease is based on nodal size, shape, and echogenicity as well as the absence of hilar vascularity, absence of hilar fat, and central nodal necrosis. 32 When combined with fine-needle aspiration for cytology (FNAC), ultrasonography has a high accuracy rate, leading to a higher detection rate for nodal recurrence than with CT (Fig.
C Axial FDG PET-CT. 7 Soft tissue swelling develops as a result of acute inflammation within a fortnight of radiotherapy and later gives way to fibrosis. All fascial compartments may be affected, resulting in thickening of the dermis and platysma, reticulation of subcutaneous and deep compartments of fat due to generalized edema, and increased enhancement of mucosal regions and the salivary glands (Figs. 2). 8, 9 In comparison to soft tissue change, bony change is a much slower process. These changes include marrow fatty change, paranasal sinus inflammation, and osteoradionecrosis (Fig.
