Abstract :

 

Nodal metastases are an adverse prognostic factor in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and require accurate detection for optimized treatment. Accurate evaluation of primary tumors and the cervical lymph node status of head and neck tumors is important for treatment planning and prognosis prediction So it is important to evaluate cervical lymph nodes by imaging examination such as MRI, ultrasonography etc. for metastases. The purpose of this study was to compare the diagnostic capabilities of magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasonography for cervical lymph nodal metastases in a known case of head and neck malignancy.
