摘要

本文取材自Metreweli教授的演講。Metreweli教授目前為香港中文大學影像診斷部主任，這次應臺大放射部之邀來台，於民國84年3月17日在臺大耳鼻喉部作特別演講，將超音波在頭頸部腫塊之應用作一介紹。超音波是種非侵襲性、可重覆檢查且簡便迅速之診斷工具，在大人往往異常者，在小孩多屬正常，所以使用超音波檢查頭頸部腫塊時，需要參考各項臨床所見，加上細針穿刺結果，才能下診斷。

This review article is based on the lecture given by Professor Metreweli about the application of ultrasound for head and neck masses at the Department of Otolaryngology, National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH), on March 17, 1995. Professor Metreweli is the chairman of the Department of Diagnostic Radiology and Organ Imaging, Prince of Wales Hospital, the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He was invited to Taiwan by the Department of Radiology, NTUH. Ultrasound is a noninvasive, repeatable, and convenient tool in the diagnosis of head and neck masses, however, the specificity is quite doubtful, especially when the age factor is taken into consideration. In clinical assessment, no single echographic characteristic could be pathognomonic to distinguish benign from malignant lymph nodes, thus we should also consider the clinical findings and the results of fine needle aspirations.
