Wertigkeit der kontrastmittelverstärkten Sonographie von Lymphknotenvergrößerungen im Kopf-Hals-Bereich versus Computertomographie undMagnetresonanztomographie

Abstract

CT is inferior to MRI, B-mode-ultrasound and contrast-enhanced color Doppler in the differential diagnosis of selectively analyzed, palpably enlarged cervical lymph nodes using the criteria of our study. The analysis of the MR-morphology revealed a slightly inferior diagnostic accuracy to B-mode morphology and color Doppler analysis of the vascularity.
