Abstract：Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common malignancy of the head and neck.Dual-energy CT(DECT)can be used to observe the morphological characteristics of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma(HNSCC)and further evaluate the functional changes of affected tissues through virtual monoenergetic images,virtual non-contrast images,iodine maps,and other post-processed images.Currently,the application of DECT in HNSCC is primarily focused on laryngeal and hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma.This paper reviews the research progress of DECT in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis,staging,pathological grading,prognosis prediction,efficacy evaluation,and recurrence diagnosis of HNSCC.
