Abstract :
Neck lesions are the masses arising from the major structures and lymph nodes in the neck. Diagnosis and characterisation of neck masses is important in planning of further management. Ultrasound being the primary modality of imaging, it helps in characterisation of lesion and in guided biopsies in superficial lesions. Multislice CT scan is useful in correctly delineating the extension of lesion.
AIM & OBJECTIVES
Prospective evaluation of neck masses by Multislice CT scan and Ultrasound.
1. To evaluate & characterise various neck masses using Multislice CT scan and high–resolution ultrasound.
2. To correlate imaging findings with cytological/histopathological findings.
MATERIAL & METHODS:
A prospective study was conducted (1st June 2015 to 31st May 2017) in department of Radiodiagnosis AVBRH, Sawangi (M), Wardha, Maharashtra. A sample size of 100 patients with clinically palpable neck masses were evaluated radiologically irrespective of age and sex. The study is performed on CT scan machine of Philips 16 slice BRILLIANCE 190P and Aloka Prosound Alpha 7 USG machine with a high resolution probe having frequency ( 5–15 MHz) linear transducer with patients consent.
RESULTS:
Higher incidence of neck masses was found in females with a male to female ratio of 0.57: 0.95. Benign lesions were predominantly found in 11–20yrs and malignant lesions in 41–50yrs of age
