    Summary

    Understanding neck anatomy in computed tomography (CT) axial sections is crucial for accurate diagnosis. This study correlates CT scans with detailed anatomical drawings to aid in interpreting neck masses and pathologies.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Anatomy
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Computed tomography (CT) is essential for evaluating neck pathologies.
    • Interpreting axial CT scans requires a strong understanding of neck anatomy.
    • Subtle pathologies can be challenging to identify without anatomical correlation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide a detailed anatomical reference for interpreting axial CT scans of the neck.
    • To demonstrate the utility of CT in evaluating neck masses.
    • To enhance diagnostic accuracy in neck imaging.

    Main Methods:

    • Fifteen axial CT sections of the neck were selected at 1 cm intervals.
    • Each CT scan was correlated with a labeled line drawing of neck anatomy.
    • Twelve clinical cases were used to illustrate CT findings in neck masses.

    Main Results:

    • CT scans accurately depicted anatomical structures, tumor size, and relationships.
    • Intravenous contrast enhanced visualization of vascular structures and lymph nodes.
    • Demineralization of bone and cartilage was clearly documented.

    Conclusions:

    • Correlating axial CT scans with anatomical drawings improves neck mass evaluation.
    • CT is a valuable tool for assessing tumor extent and bone/cartilage changes.
    • Symmetry analysis is key for detecting subtle abnormalities in neck CT.
