Abstract
In the past few years, sophisticated ultrasound systems specifically designed for the evaluation of superficial organs and structures have been developed. These “high‐resolution” scanners are particularly well suited to diagnostic imaging in the neck. This review summarizes current clinical applications of this evolving technology and highlights initial experience with a prototype scanner that is now commercially available. Particular attention is directed to high‐resolution ultrasonography of the thyroid and parathyroid glands, the extracranial carotid arteries, and neoplastic and inflammatory masses of the neck.Keywords
