Abstract
Ultrasonography has proved a valuable tool for the detection of enlarged lymph nodes; however, differentiation between benign and malignant nodal disease remains a problem.
High-frequency probes with improved spatial and contrast resolution display superficial nodes to advantage and also show the intemal structures of the nodes. Lymph nodes were examined by using 7.5MHz probes to evaluate longitudinal-transverse diameter ratio (L/T), the central hilus, cortical widening, and size.
The diagnosis of superficial lymphadenopathy (in cervical region) is cmcial for therapeutic planning in patients with suspected malignancy. Several studies have shown that souography has a markedly higher sensitivity than palpation for the detection of enlarged lymph nodes in patients with suspected regional lymph nodes metastases.
