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 کاملEvaluation of Reliability of Ultrasonographic Parameters in Differentiating Benign and Metastatic Cervical Group of Lymph Nodes
The aim of the current study is to determine the efficacy of ultrasound in differentiating between benign and metastatic group of cervical lymph nodes. The study included forty-five subjects who were divided into three groups with 15 in each, by stratified random sampling method. Group 1 comprised fifteen patients without signs and symptoms of any infection and neoplasms in head and neck region...
متن کاملUltrasonographic evaluation of cervical lymph nodes in Kawasaki disease.
OBJECTIVE Kawasaki disease (KD) is one of the common causes of cervical lymphadenopathy during early childhood. The purpose of this study was to compare the ultrasonographic feature of cervical lymph nodes in patients with KD, bacterial lymphadenitis, and infectious mononucleosis. DESIGN We studied 22 patients with KD, 8 with presumed bacterial lymphadenitis, and 5 with Epstein-Barr virus inf...
متن کاملtriplex ultrasonographic assessment of cervical lymph nodes
detection of lymph nodes (lns) involvement by various pathological processes has great therapeutic and prognostic implications. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness and accuracy of triplex sonography (gray scale, color mapping and spectral doppler) in differentiating benign from malignant cervical lns. we used triplex sonography to evaluate 120 lns in 50 patients. the gray s...
متن کاملUltrasonographic changes of submandibular glands in irradiated patients for head and neck cancers
Background: Salivary glands (SGs) are usually irradiated during radiotherapy for head and neck cancers, which may lead to radiation-induced changes. These changes could be evaluated safely by ultrasonography; however, there have been few studies in this regard. Thus, we aimed to investigate the changes in post-radiotherapy submandibular glands using ultrasonography in patients undergoing head-n...
