Description
The anatomy of the neck is complex, with many critical structures in a relatively small cross-sectional area. Many structures in the neck also have similar soft tissue density or signal that further complicates interpretation for the radiologist. It is important to recognize the anatomy and landmarks of cervical compartments as well as the patterns of spread when evaluating head and neck tumours. This imaging-based classification it is a reproducible and consistent classification system endorsed by clinicians and radiologists specialized in head and neck cancer to assess lymph nodes involvement.
