摘要: This article reviews imaging-based nodal classification, recent advancements in MR techniques for lymph node imaging, and characteristics of imaging neck lymphadenopathy. Further technical development is necessary to improve accuracy metastases patients with N0 neck. Development new tissue-specific contrast agents functional studies address biologic activity nodes are essential the future.
