Abstract: (Producer) The clinical and biologic significance of cervical lymph nodes makes their identification on images vital. Intelligent communication of findings requires that the radiologist be familiar with the anatomic location and organization of the cervical nodes and the terminology needed to relate these findings to the clinician. The imaging criteria used to assess whether a node is pathologic are discussed, and importance of extracapsular spread, nodal location both in the neck and with reference to the site of the primary tumor, and the differences and similarities between CT and MR findings are reviewed. The nodal staging systems, the high-risk areas to examine in a patient with an occult primary tumor, and the appearance of the cervical nodes in HIV-positive patients are also discussed.
