Reconstruction of the oropharynx plays a critical role in preserving quality of life after surgical resection of oropharyngeal carcinoma. Free tissue is one of several reconstructive options, which can closely approximate native oropharyngeal anatomy and lead to favorable functional outcomes in carefully selected patients. Here, the authors provide an overview of the indications, treatment options, functional outcomes, potential complications, and future considerations for free flap reconstruction of the oropharynx.

Objective: Anterior 2/3rds glossectomy results in significant patient morbidity due to speech and swallowing impairment. Microvascular free flap reconstruction compensates for large volume defects. Flap volume is based on the adipose content of the donor site and varies by patient body mass index (BMI) and donor site location.

Recent progresses in intravital imaging have enabled highly-resolved measurements of periarteriolar oxygen gradients (POGs) within the brain parenchyma. POGs are increasingly used as proxies to estimate the local baseline oxygen consumption, which is a hallmark of cell activity. However, the oxygen profile around a given arteriole arises from an interplay between oxygen consumption and delivery, not only by this arteriole but also by distant capillaries.

Purpose: Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) is a quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method used to quantify perfusion properties of tissue non-invasively without contrast. However, clinical applications are limited by unreliable parameter estimates, particularly for the perfusion fraction (f) and pseudodiffusion coefficient (D*). This study aims to develop a high-fidelity reconstruction for reliable estimation of IVIM parameters.
