This article reviews imaging-based nodal classification, recent advancements in MR techniques for lymph node imaging, and characteristics of MR imaging for neck lymphadenopathy. Further technical development of MR imaging is necessary to improve accuracy of lymph node metastases in patients with N0 neck. Development of new tissue-specific MR contrast agents and functional imaging studies to address biologic activity of lymph nodes are essential in the future.
本文综述了基于影像学的淋巴结分类、淋巴结成像的磁共振(MR)技术的最新进展以及颈部淋巴结病的MR成像特征。为提高N0颈部患者淋巴结转移的诊断准确性,MR成像的进一步技术发展是必要的。未来,开发新的组织特异性MR造影剂以及针对淋巴结生物活性的功能成像研究至关重要。
