Sentinel lymph node detection of the head and neck cancer by contrast-enhanced ultrasonography
- Conditions
- head and neck cancer
- Registration Number
- JPRN-jRCTs021180036
- Lead Sponsor
- Shiga kiyoto
- Brief Summary
This study aimed to detect sentinel lymph nodes by contrast-enhanced ultrasonography. Sentinel lymph node was detectable by contrast-enhanced ultrasonography in some of the patients. However, as the background shadow was very high in other patients, detection of the sentinel lymph nodes was not possible..
