Multispectral Imaging to Characterize Patterns of Vascular Supply Within the Lymphoepithelial Mucosa of Patients With Known or Suspected Oropharyngeal Carcinoma (OPC)
The purpose of this study is to characterize the blood supply at the base of the tongue and
within the tonsil region. We hypothesize that high-resolution Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) will
improve the diagnosis of oropharyngeal carcinoma (OPC). The goal is to provide the better
assessment of tumor and thus providing better preoperative expectations to patients with OPC
or tumor extent prior to radiation therapy.
