CT of cervical lymph node cancer [PDF]
This study seeks to establish whether CT can accurately detect cancer in cervical lymph nodes. Retrospective correlation of CT scans and surgical findings in 51 patients with laryngeal cancer undergoing radical neck dissection suggested that the node-bearing areas in the neck can be usefully evaluated with CT scans.
