Objective. We evaluate if axial-based lymph node size criteria can be applied to coronal and sagittal planes. Methods. Fifty pretreatment computed tomographic (CT) neck exams were evaluated in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCCa) and neck lymphadenopathy. Axial-based size ...

Using node size larger than 10 mm in the short-axis diameter or the presence of central lucency as the criteria of CT scanning staged correctly 52 of 57 necks, providing an accuracy of 91%, a sensitivity of 86% and a specificity of 100% in the detection of . There was agreement of ...
These criteria are as follows: 1 The cervical tumor occurs along the line extending from a point just anterior to the tragus to the clavicle, along the anterior border of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. 2 The histologic appearance is consistent with an origin from tissue known to be present in...
Criteria for the diagnosis of a malignant neoplasm were as follows: a rare or atypical vascularization, the finding of a central anechogenic zone in suspected tissue, size and shape of a lymph node, signs of invasion of neighboring tissue or blood vessels, and irregular margins.5,8,10 In ...
[22]. The selection criteria were (1) primary tumor site (oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx, larynx, and/ or homologous neck lymph node metastases); (2) tumor size ≥ 1.0 cm to guarantee sufficient tumor material; (3) > 18 years of age. When suitable, tissue samples from ...
LN: lymph node. LR: logistic regression. NB: naïve Bayes. NN: neural network. RF: Random forest. SVM: Support vector machine Full size image Substantial heterogeneity was observed within CT (I2: 45.1 − 86.6%) and MRI (I2: 28.1 − 32.8%) subgroups. The leave-one-out ...
Table 1. Criteria for diagnosis of disorders of the neck and upper limbs. All findings were required. DiagnosisCriteria Tension neck syndrome Neck pain; sense of fatigue or stiffness in the neck; pain radiating from the neck to the back of the head; tightness of muscles; tender spots in the...
(structured and unstructured data), we report the general characteristics of the studies, the risk of bias assessment findings, and the findings of the different quality assessment criteria used for data evaluation. “Discussion” section justifies the findings of the data quality evaluation and ...
The inclusion criteria: (1) primary tumor located in the maxillary sinus (anatomical code: C31.0); (2) diagnosis year from 2004 to 2021; (3) staging CT3/T4N0M0. Exclusion criteria were as follows: (1) no distant metastases, (2) unknown or no surgical treatment information, (3) ...
