Ultrasound is one of the most commonly used imaging tools in the head and neck region. Head and neck ultrasound can be used as a diagnostic and procedure tool, including examination of neck lymph node, salivary gland tumor and stone, unknown head and neck mass, core needle biopsy, fine needle aspiration, etc. With the development of the machine and technology, ultrasonic machines have significantly improved in size, weight, and portability, and can maintain good image quality. I hope to share our experience of using head and neck ultrasound in NTUH Hsin-Chu Branch and share the learning process of head and neck ultrasound as an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. I look forward to more oral and maxillofacial surgeons entering the field of head and neck ultrasound together.
