  • Published:
European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Diagnostic procedures currently utilized for determining nodal status in patients with head and neck primary carcinomas are reviewed. Diagnostic procedures include clinical palpation, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound. Each technique is discussed on the basis of clinical experience at the Technical University of Munich.
