Overview

Ultrasonography is not the routine test performed for the diagnosis of SCC. It is useful in certain cases when it is difficult to delineate the border of the lesion. It can be used in addition to a physical exam for better overview of the lesion

Ultrasound

  • Ultrasonography is not the routine test performed for the diagnosis of SCC. It is useful in certain cases when it is difficult to delineate the border of the lesion. It can be used in addition to a physical exam for better overview of the lesion.[1]
  • Ultrasound can be used for the detection of metastatic lymph nodes. Doppler sonography of blood flow of hilar lymph nodes improves diagnostic accuracy of detection of metastasis of tumor cells originating from the head and the neck.[2]
