Dual-energy computerized tomography could easily replace a standard CT neck with the added benefit of providing functional information that would only be possible with advanced computerized tomography perfusion, magnetic resonance diffusion (MRI) or positron emission tomography (PET) imaging techniques.', 'detailedDescription': 'Patients with head and/or neck tumors routinely have head and neck imaging completed with a computerized tomography scan, commonly called a CT scan. A CT scan combines a series of x-ray views that are taken from many different angles and uses computer processing to create cross-sectional images inside your body. These cross-sectional images are very thin slices, often less than 1 mm thick and allow the radiologist to examine parts of your tissue very closely.\n\nDual energy computed tomography (DECT) is a fairly new technology that uses both the normal x-ray and also a second less powerful x-ray to make the images. The Ottawa Hospital has scanners in use that are able to take the images that oncologists typically order for patients and can also be set to obtain DECT images at the same time.\n\nThe purpose of this study is to investigate whether DECT images can provide helpful information to better predict how the tumor will respond to treatment and the likely course of head and neck tumors.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'NON_PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'Patients, aged 18 years and older with untreated, histologically confirmed head and neck squamous cell carcinoma', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* 18 years and older\n* untreated, histologically confirmed head and neck squamous cell carcinoma\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* paranasal sinus involvement of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT02279459', 'briefTitle': 'Dual-Energy CT in Patients With Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinomas', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Ottawa Hospital Research Institute'}, 'officialTitle': 'Dual-Energy CT in Patients With Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinomas: Assessing Tumor Perfusion and Prediction of Treatment Outcomes', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '20140728-01H'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'label': 'Patient', 'description': 'Patients head and neck CT scans performed as standard of care done prior to radiation treatment and approximately 12 weeks following treatment, will be acquired in the dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) mode.
