Emergency neck MRI: feasibility and diagnostic accuracy in cases of neck infection.

CONCLUSION: We found that emergency neck MRI can be successfully performed on most patients, and that MRI detects neck infection with a high accuracy. These results suggest that MRI may be an alternative to CT as the first or only imaging modality in neck emergencies. PMID: 32660316 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
