Imaging of the neck for the assessment of nodal metastases can be used to detect occult metastases or to assess operability of palpable metastases. The detection of small occult metastases has limitations, as micrometastases cannot be depicted. However, imaging can diminish the risk of occult metastases and thus influence management; for this purpose a very sensitive technique is necessary. The currently used radiologic criteria are not sensitive enough to accomplish enough reduction in the risk of occult metastases. Therefore, more sensitive CT and MRI criteria, but especially ultrasound guided aspiration, should be used to assess the clinically negative neck.
