Abstract:Introduction: Cervical nodes form one of the major groups of Lymph Nodes (LN) that are frequently involved in inflammatory and neoplastic diseases. Metastasis causes the most apparent change in consistency of the node among the various nodal pathologies. Ultrasound elastography provides an estimate of tissue consistency by measuring the degree of distortion under the application of an external force. Aim: To estimate the diagnostic accuracy of sonoelastography in the differentiation of malignant and benign cer… Show more
