Background The characteristics of cervical lymphatic metastasis in nasopharyngeal
carcinoma (NPC) are not completely understood. As such, radiotherapy to the entire …

OBJECTIVE. In this article, we present a 4-step approach to evaluating lymph nodes in the
setting of head and neck squamous cell and thyroid carcinoma and highlight important tips …

The role of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for differentiation between
various causes of cervical lymphadenopathy was evaluated. In a prospective study, 31 …

Purpose: To evaluate diffusion-weighted (DW) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, as
compared with turbo spin-echo MR imaging, for the detection of nodal metastases in head …

Background Positron emission tomography using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG PET)
has been proposed to enhance preoperative assessment of cervical lymph node status in …

PURPOSE: To compare the diagnostic accuracy of computed tomography (CT), magnetic
resonance (MR) imaging, and ultrasonography (US) in the detection of necrosis in …

18F-FDG PET has a high accuracy in staging head and neck cancer, but its role in patients
with clinically and radiographically negative necks (N0) is less clear. In particular, the value …

PURPOSE: To evaluate echo-planar diffusion-weighted MR imaging (DWI) in the
differentiation between benign and malignant cervical lymph nodes. MATERIALS AND …

Purpose In this study, the potential contribution of Dixon-based MR imaging with a rapid low-
resolution breath-hold sequence, which is a technique used for MR-based attenuation …

Objective. To evaluate the contribution of continuous mode contrast‐enhanced harmonic
ultrasonography (CE‐HUS) with a second‐generation contrast agent to the characterization …
