N2 - Imaging of neck and skull base has significantly improved the diagnosis and management of neck conditions. Prior to the use of CT, MRI, and PET imaging, the value of plain radiographs of the neck was limited. Today, modern imaging techniques are an essential adjunct to the physical examination of the neck, can confidently limit the differential, and in many clinical scenarios yield a specific diagnosis. In addition, the value of imaging cannot be understated in surgical planning and surveillance. This article will review the techniques used in neck lymph node imaging and cover several of the most common conditions that result in malignant lymphadenopathy in the neck.
