Abstract
Conventional ultrasound is used as an imaging
modality for differentiation between benign and malignant lymph nodes, but with
different accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity between different studies.
This cross-sectional study evaluates the diagnostic accuracy of B-mode
ultrasound, color Doppler, and elastography in identifying cervical
lymphadenopathy, with fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) as the reference
standard. The study aims to determine the sensitivity, specificity, and overall
efficacy of these imaging modalities in differentiating benign from malignant
lymph nodes. By correlating imaging findings with FNAC results, the research
explores the potential of non-invasive techniques to enhance diagnostic
precision in clinical practice. The findings highlight the complementary roles
of imaging modalities in improving diagnostic confidence, aiding early
intervention, and reducing unnecessary invasive procedures.
