Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Evaluation of the repeatability and reproducibility of ADC maps in both primary and non-primary lesions lymph nodes in patients with head and neck cancer, using an acquisition protocol Standardized DWI

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

DWI imaging consists of a spin-echo echo-planar sequence (SE-EPI) that will be acquired with 1.5 T or 3 T tomographs according to the equipment of the individual centers involved, setting the acquisition parameters after the administration of any contrast medium.
