review the appropriate approach for evaluation of metastatic cervical lymph nodes on cross-sectional neck imaging
the imaging assessment of nodal disease can be challenging for the radiologist because there are multiple sites to review and differing opinions about criteria for abnormal nodes. the ability to accurately detect nodal metastases is improved with knowledge of the criteria for abnormal nodes, the nodal drainage patterns, and common imaging pitfalls. in this article, we introduce these basic conc...
متن کاملSonography of neck lymph nodes. Part I: normal lymph nodes.
Grey scale and power Doppler sonography play an important role in assessment of cervical lymphadenopathy. However, before examination of pathological nodes, a clear understanding of the anatomy of cervical nodes, scanning technique and sonographic appearances of normal cervical nodes is essential. This article reviews these topics in order to provide a baseline for sonographic examination of ce...
متن کاملEffect of cryotherapy on oral mucositis in patients with head and neck cancers receiving radiotherapy
Background: Mucositis is an important adverse effect of cancer treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of ice cubes on oral mucositis following head and neck radiotherapy. Materials and Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted on 40 head and neck cancer patients who underwent radiotherapy. The patients were randomly divided into two experimental and control gr...
متن کاملUltrasonography of Neck Lymph Nodes in Children
Ultrasound is an ideal imaging tool for initial assessment of cervical lymph nodes in children. Grey scale ultrasound helps to evaluate the morphology of cervical nodes, whereas power Doppler ultrasound assesses the nodal vasculature. On grey scale ultrasound, useful sonographic features that help in identifying pathologic nodes include round contour, absence of echogenic hilus, intranodal necr...
متن کاملApparent diffusion coefficient for discriminating metastatic lymph nodes in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
PURPOSE We aimed to evaluate the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of metastatic lymph nodes in patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the head and neck. METHODS Patients with metastatic lymph nodes underwent 1.5 Tesla diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The ADC values of the histologically proven metastases were evaluated retrospectively and mean ADC values...
