Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Various diagnostic imaging modalities have been utilized in the assessment of pediatric neck lesions, including gray-scale and Doppler ultrasonography, conventional and three-dimensional computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and MR angiography, each offering distinct advantages and limitations.

Design
Arms and outcomes
Arms (1)
- label
- pediatric patients with neck swellings
- description
- Pediatric patients referred to Sohag University Hospital for radiological evaluation of a neck swelling or mass. Patients will undergo clinical assessment and appropriate imaging evaluation, including gray-scale and Doppler ultrasonography as the initial imaging modality, with CT and/or MRI performed when clinically indicated. Imaging findings will be assessed for lesion detection, anatomical localization, tissue characterization, differential diagnosis, and assessment of involvement of adjacent structures.
Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Diagnostic accuracy of tissue characterization of pediatric neck swellings
- timeFrame
- From baseline imaging assessment until establishment of the final diagnosis, or up to 6 months after initial imaging, whichever comes first.
- description
- Accuracy of multimodality imaging in characterizing pediatric neck swellings according to their imaging features and tissue composition, including cystic, solid, vascular, inflammatory, or other relevant characteristics, compared with the final diagnosis based on histopathological examination, microbiological assessment, surgical findings, or clinical and imaging follow-up, as applicable.
