The results of palpation, CT and MRI and high resolution ultrasound were compared in 100 patients with malignancy of the head and neck. Ultrasound detected far more lymph nodes than the other methods. These diagnostic findings were compared with the operative and histological results in 62 patients. Ultrasound proved superior to the other methods: a lymph node metastasis was missed in only 2 patients by sonography, whereas in 20 patients metastases were overlooked by CT and MRI scans, and in 27 patients by palpation. High resolution ultrasound is at present the most reliable method for the detection of lymph nodes in the head and neck.
对100例头颈部恶性肿瘤患者的触诊、CT、MRI及高分辨率超声检查结果进行了比较。超声检测到的淋巴结比其他方法多得多。将这些诊断结果与62例患者的手术及组织学结果进行了比较。超声显示优于其他方法：超声检查仅漏诊2例淋巴结转移，而CT和MRI扫描漏诊20例，触诊漏诊27例。目前，高分辨率超声是检测头颈部淋巴结最可靠的方法。
