Summary

This study tests a new imaging tool called MSOT that uses light and sound to create detailed pictures of neck lymph nodes in people with head and neck cancer. The goal is to see if it can more accurately find cancer that has spread to lymph nodes and also detect tissue damage from radiation therapy. About 100 adults with confirmed cancer will be scanned before and after treatment to check safety and effectiveness.
