| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ultrasonographic internal architecture of enlarged cervical lymph nodes from the oral carcinoma using the modified complexity value (MCV), and to determine whether the MCV is a valid diagnostic parameter in the differentiation between metastatic and non-metastatic lymph nodes. As a result, MCVs in the different conditions of the phantom were not differed each other. The sum of MCV values of the metastatic lymph nodes was higher than that of the non-metastatic lymph nodes. The MCV of lymph node ultrasonogram is an useful parameter for differentiation between metastatic and non-metastatic enlargement in the cervical lymphadenopathy in the oral carcinoma.
