The parotid gland is in intimate relation with the lymph nodes (seeImage.Lymph Nodes of the Head and Neck). This is the only salivary gland with 2 nodal layers, which drain into the superficial and deep cervical lymph system. Most nodes are located within the superficial lobe between the gl...
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-...
Ultrasonography is the preferred modality for detailed evaluation of enlarged lymph nodes (LNs) identified on computed tomography and/or magnetic resonance imaging, owing to its high spatial resolution. However, the diagnostic performance of ultrasonogra
(the cervical spine) that surround the spinal cord and canal. Between these vertebrae are discs, and nearby pass the nerves of the neck. Within the neck, structures include the skin, neck muscles, arteries, veins, lymph nodes, thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, esophagus, larynx, and trachea...
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, ...
lymph nodes, and deep spaces of the neck. Some other conditions of the head and neck, such as neck mass, missed cancers, and posttreatment changes, are also discussed. Awareness of these potential pitfalls and knowledge of the normal head and neck anatomy can help radiologists to avoid misint...
They were admitted for a high resolution neck ultrasound examination. Sixteen of 63 patients presented images suspicious for lymph node metastasis and/or for local recurrences (4 cases). Fine needle aspiration confirmed the suspicion of malignancy in 12 patients: only lymph node metastasis in 8 ...
During SLNB, local anesthesia with light sedation was administered to the patient, and a 99MTc-labelled colloid tracer was injected around the tumor, localization of sentinel lymph nodes was performed using a gamma detection system with a hand-hold probe, then the nodes were biopsied. If node ...
