Neck sonography, by virtue of its ease of use and ability to screen the neck for abnormal lymph nodes, is the primary imaging modality employed for screening, mapping, and surveying neck lymph nodes in patients with thyroid carcinoma.CatherineF.Sinclair...
cervical lymph nodessurgerypathologyHigh-resolution sonography is becoming a method of choice for the detection and diagnosis of cervical lymph node metastasis in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). The purpose of this study is to assess the diagnostic accuracy of neck ultrasound (US) ...
Swollen lymph nodes can be caused by a variety of problems like infections (mono, ear), cancers, HIV, and other symptoms. Learn about lymphadenopathy causes, treatments, cancer, and more.
Imaging of lymph node metastases in the neck can have two major indications: (1) prognosis and assisting with choice of treatment; (2) staging and detection of clinically occult metastases in different levels of the neck. Both indications are discussed. The role and limitations of US and US-...

Background and objectives:Currently there are no recommendations for obtaining a preoperative neck ultrasound for patients with suspicious or indeterminate thyroid nodules. Because a preoperative surgical ultrasound can detect suspicious lymph nodes that could result in ultimately altering surgical management, ...
If your doctor thinks your swollen lymph nodes could be cancer, tests and imaging can confirm the diagnosis or point to something else. Based on where the cancer might be, you could get a chest X-ray, anultrasound, a CT scan, or an MRI. A scan called FDG-PET, which stands for fluor...
(lymphocytes) become cancerous resulting in abnormal and excessive proliferation or growth of the tissues and cells of the lymph nodes. This causes enlargement of lymph nodes in various parts of the body and theseswollen lymph nodesare most often detected in the armpit, neck or groin as ...
The GP has also referred the patient for an urgent neck ultrasound in which the request states 'persistent lymphadenopathy, otherwise well, exclude malignancy'. STRUCTURED CLINICAL QUESTION Do otherwise well, healthy children (patient) with palpable cervical lymph nodes (comparison) require investigation...
In head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) pathologic cervical lymph nodes (LN) remain important negative predictors. Current criteria for LN-classification in contrast-enhanced computed-tomography scans (contrast-CT) are shape-based; contrast-CT imagery allows extraction of additional quantitative...
