- Abstract
High-frequency US provides excellent visualization of superficial structures and lesions, is a preferred diagnostic modality for anatomic characterization of neck abnormalities, and has a central role in clinical decision making. Recent technological advancements have led to the development of transducers that surpass 20 MHz, elevating high-frequency US to a highly valuable diagnostic tool with broader clinical use and enabling greater spatial resolution in the assessment of skin and superficial nerves and muscles. The authors focus on evolving applications of high-frequency US in neck imaging, emphasizing practical insights and strategies in skin and neuromuscular applications.
