Neck Lyph nodes MRI Protocol


 IMAGING OF THE LYMPH NODES IN NECK USING MRI
  • Axial T2-weighted, fat-saturated turbo spin echo (TSE/FSE) or we can use STIR T2 FSE
  • Axial T1-weighted spin echo (SE)
Post Contrast  "Neck Lyph nodes MRI Sequences"
  • Axial T1-weighted, fat saturated spin echo (SE
Optional sequences "Neck Lyph nodes MRI Protocol"
  •  According to the lesion post contrast Coronal/Sagital T1 Fat Sat images if required.
  •  Coronal STIR/T1 4mm without contrast images
Technical notes of "Neck Lyph nodes MRI Protocol"
  • Axial images are parallel to hard palate from skull base to carina.
  • Coronal images are perpendicular to hard palate from nose to cervical spinal canal.
  • All these MRI Axial sequences are done by 2mm slice thickness with 0.2 mm inter-space micro-mri imaging if it is not possible in your scanner 4mm slices preferred.
  •  Loco-regional (cervical) metastatic lymphadenopathy is a major factor in determining the prognosis for
    the patient and determines the nature of any surgical intervention.
