Overview
Ultrasound may be performed to detect metastases of tongue cancer to cervical lymph nodes and to aid in FNAC of suspicious nodes.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound is predominantly used for assessment of cervical lymph nodes and to aid in FNAC of suspicious nodes. It is possible to assess the primary tumor in some instances directly with a small high-frequency probe, to try and evaluate tumor thickness.[1]
